AAU Cares is the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU)'s way of giving back to the community.   Our organization strives to provide not only athletic opportunities but also lessons in learning, life and social responsibility in the community. #AAUCares

AAU Cares is for everyone.  We encourage you and your team to get involved in giving back to your community. Here are some of the ways you can get involved:

AAU Proud
The purpose of this program is to provide athletic activities & sport skills to children aged 4, 5, 6 & 7 in a non-competitive environment that promotes self-confidence while staying active. #AAUProud
For more on how to host an AAU Proud actvity during your event, email: jegura@roadrunner.com
 

Feeding Children Everywhere
Feeding Children Everywhere is a social charity that empowers and mobilizes people to assemble healthy meals for hungry children.
 

Meet the Need Food Drive
Partner with your local food bank and during a practice or event, advertise as a drop off location for items such as canned vegetables, peanut butter and school snacks.
 

Kids Helping Kids
Have a special wishing well on display for the duration of competition, where athletes can write a letter of encouragement to a child in need and to make a wish.  Donations then can go to Make A Wish foundation.

Community Outreach: this can be as simple as volunteering at a local soup kitchen or Habitat for Humanity, to mentoring at a local youth club as well as tutoring disadvantaged youth.
