How We Impact
Seth applied for scholarship funds to help shift his daughter Madison's focus from her cell phone to activities outside of their home. Madison is addicted to her phone and has spent so much time on it, it stunted her growth. Seth enrolled her in basketball where she enjoyed being part of a team, made new friends, and found positive role models in her coaches. She also spent several hours a week at practice and playing in games which reduced the amount of time she was on her phone. She developed a love of the game and can't wait to play again after the pandemic.
