WHO WE ARE
No young person should struggle alone.
Sherman’s Stix & Kicks Legacy Foundation is dedicated to supporting youth and families navigating mental health challenges through connection, education, and opportunity. We believe that healing happens when young people feel seen, heard, and supported within their communities.
Rooted in mentorship and access, our foundation uses the game of golf as a meaningful pathway to build confidence, discipline, and emotional resilience. By pairing the sport with mental wellness education and community support, we create safe spaces where youth can grow, learn, and develop healthy coping skills.
Our work is guided by a commitment to prevention, awareness, and empowerment, particularly within underserved communities that may lack access to mental health resources or the game of golf. Through partnerships, programming, and advocacy, we strive to expand access, reduce stigma, and help young people thrive both on and off the course.
At our core, we are about hope, healing, and creating lasting impact for the next generation.
What We Do
We believe every young person deserves the opportunity to grow into a healthy, resilient, and confident adult. Guided by this belief, we creates programming that connects mental wellness with golf-based learning and community support, helping young people build confidence, emotional strength, and healthy coping skills.
Together we can change lives.
Our families, educators, advocates, donors, and partners believe that every young person deserves support, opportunity, and hope. When we come together, we can reduce stigma around mental health, expand access to golf and mentorship, and save lives through education and prevention.
There are many meaningful ways to stand with us and help carry our mission forward:
Volunteer at programs or events
Partner as a sponsor or community organization
Donate to support programming and outreach
