Our Mission

Youth sports should be a right, not a privilege. But across Michigan, more and more families face the tough reality that sports participation is simply too expensive—whether it’s equipment, registration fees, travel, or even school pay-to-play costs.
The Jennifer E. Benner Foundation was created to change that. Inspired by a passion for youth development and equal opportunity, our foundation works to ensure that no child is sidelined because of financial hardship. From helping with team dues to covering the cost of gear or physicals, we’re here to make sports more accessible for all.

With a heart for service and a lifelong passion for helping others, we founded the Jennifer E. Benner Foundation to ensure that every child—regardless of background or income—has the chance to stay active, healthy and pursue their athletic potential. Jennifer’s commitment to community, fairness, and youth development drives the foundation’s mission and continues to inspire its work across Michigan.
