OPPORTUNITY, MADE PRACTICAL.

Southwest Suns develops focused initiatives that address real barriers facing young athletes—from the cost of participation to the support they need once they are in the game.

Our programs are designed around a simple idea: identify a practical need, mobilize community support, deliver the resource, and measure the impact.

Rooted in New Mexico, our programs are aimed at meeting practical needs facing young athletes in the communities we serve.

WHO WE SERVE

Southwest Suns supports young athletes and youth-serving sports programs in New Mexico.

Our initial work is focused in the Albuquerque area, with programs designed to address practical barriers affecting participation, preparation, and access across multiple sports.

Support may be provided through partnerships with schools, leagues, teams, coaches, families, and other youth-serving organizations.

GET HER IN THE GAME

Remove the barrier. Open the door.

Get Her in the Game helps reduce financial barriers that prevent girls from participating in organized sports.

Our first initiative will focus on helping girls access Bernalillo County youth basketball through participation sponsorships.
