Honoring Michael T. Lyons
Eliminating financial obstacles so every child can participate in youth athletics.
The Michael T. Lyons Foundation was created to honor Michael’s legacy and his deep belief in the power of sports to shape young lives.
For many children and families, the cost of participation in youth athletics creates barriers that go far beyond the field. Registration fees, equipment, uniforms, and travel expenses often prevent children from accessing opportunities that foster confidence, discipline, teamwork, and belonging.
Through scholarships, mentorship, and community partnerships, the Foundation helps ensure that financial circumstances do not determine whether a child gets to play. We believe every child deserves the opportunity to experience the joy of the game, the lessons learned through teamwork, and the personal growth that athletics provide both on and off the field.
Your support directly expands access to youth sports, helping children build resilience, confidence, and lifelong skills while honoring a legacy rooted in generosity, leadership, and community.
Together, we can turn generosity into opportunity for every child!
