Athletes Doing Good Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Capture Sports & Entertainment, supports athlete initiatives to do good in communities across the country.
Our philanthropic approach is rooted in our mission to help players, coaches and teams impact lives. Each year, we help athletes who don’t have a formal non-profit use their platforms to share inspiring stories and fundraise to make an impact in the lives of others. From podcast interviews to radiothons and everything in between, our passion is to showcase athletes doing good.
