JOEY'S GIFTS PARTNERSHIPS
Our Scholarship Partners
At Joey's Gifts, we believe every child should have the opportunity to pursue their passion for sports without cost being a barrier. That's why we offer scholarships to children who have the dedication and desire but may need some financial assistance to join an organized sports team. We partner with sports organizations to make a difference in children's lives and allow them to pursue their dreams.
PAL - POLICE ACTIVITIES LEAGUE | BENSALEM, PA
PAL has been a non-profit organization for over 100 years, dedicated to fostering youth development through its various nationwide branches. They promote mutual respect and understanding while nurturing self-esteem, awareness, and confidence. The PAL leaders work tirelessly to guide, teach children, and create a safe place where they can grow, thrive, and sharpen their skills. The mission of PAL aligns perfectly with that of Joey's Gifts, and we are all thrilled about this alliance!
The Northampton Indians Association
For the last three decades, the Northampton Indians Association has been committed to enriching our community by providing football and cheerleading programs for children aged 5 to 15. Our dedicated coaching staff focuses on teaching sports fundamentals, and instilling values such as good sportsmanship, leadership, and teamwork while emphasizing injury prevention through exceptional conditioning and training techniques. Through our partnership with the Northampton Indians Association, we are thrilled to continue supporting families and children in need.
In December 2023, Joey's Gifts generously sponsored 30 enthusiastic Northampton Cheerleaders to compete in Nationals in Florida for the first time since the organization's conception. Their outstanding performances, correlated with excellent coaching, led them to secure first place. Subsequently, they qualified for Globals in Atlantic City a few weeks later, where they were honored as Global Champions for their challenging routines and exceptional dedication.
Bucks County Generals Baseball
Bucks County Baseball Academy was created by Dan Kusters and Steve Marlow in 2002. Both played locally in high school (Archbishop Wood and Council Rock) and were scholarship athletes in college (Villanova and Penn State). The academy teams, The Generals, were created to provide a better place to play competitive baseball. The Generals culture strives to foster mentorship, developmental instruction, and guidance as baseball players, as well as their families, move from the little diamond, transition to the big diamond, prepare for high school, and reach the collegiate and professional levels. While doing this, the coaches and the players of the Generals often talk about character, integrity, respect (for the game, teammates, coaches, parents, umpires, and the opposition), self-discipline, grit, and resiliency.
Introducing Our Safety Partners
At Joey's Gifts, we intend to keep Joey's spirit alive by honoring his memory. We do this through our programs and initiatives. We are committed to making a meaningful impact on the lives of children and families by promoting safety and awareness in our communities and beyond. One of our initiatives, Joey's Safety System, emphasizes the importance of having a buddy while participating in extracurricular activities. Not only does it enhance the fun, but it also ensures that children are safe.
We are also looking to partner with organizations that currently invest in programs to educate children on essential safety standards, empowering them to make safe choices for themselves and others. Ever since Joey's passing, we've made it our mission to prioritize children's safety. Our primary goal is to raise awareness about water safety and other critical concerns that pose a threat to our kids. Partnering with the YMCA on safety initiatives is just the first step! Let's work together to make a lasting impact on child safety. Your support is crucial in our efforts to protect more children. Thank you for standing with us in this important cause.
