TACKLING BARRIERS TO YOUTH FOOTBALL IN TAMPA BAY


The Touchdown Pass Foundation was created by three students who wanted to give back to their community through their love of football.

Our goal is to collect new and gently used football equipment and pass it on to Tampa Bay youth. We also collect monetary donations to provide scholarships for football related youth camps and leagues.

Our Mission

Our mission is to make football accessible to all youth in the Tampa Bay Area regardless of cost of equipment or registration fees.

Our goal is to break down all the barriers of participating in youth football, so that everyone can experience the benefits that team sports have to offer.

Donations

Your generous donations help us provide equipment and scholarships to deserving student athletes who would like to participate in football related camps and youth leagues.

Ambassador Program

Our team is growing everyday! Learn how you can become a Touchdown Pass Ambassador at your school. Earn service hours and do good for the Tampa Bay community!

Equipment

Outgrown cleats, pads, or gloves? We would love to give them a new life. New, unused equipment will be gladly redistributed as needed!

Participation in youth sports has been proven to provide many benefits for child development including positive impacts on physical health, mental and emotional health, academic performance, social skills, and self-confidence.
