THE NEXT PHASE OF OUR MISSION

Building Impact That Lasts

Athletes 4 Causes has served youth and communities since 2006. For years, our work centered on impactful events, camps, and initiatives that brought people together and inspired change through sport. Those moments will always be part of who we are—and we will continue creating them.

But as our organization has grown, so has our understanding of what truly transforms a community for generations. Our mission has expanded from short-term events to long-term, life-changing development right here in Tulsa.

Tulsa is home now. Its families, its culture and its untapped potential have shaped our new purpose:
to build something lasting, something that can change an entire city by changing one life at a time.

PARTNER TESTIMONIES

VIENNA BEEF Executive Vice President

CHICAGO Authority Chief Executive Officer

"At Vienna Beef, we’ve always believed that a company’s true measure is found in the impact it makes beyond its own walls. Our long-standing partnership with the Athletes For Causes Foundation has been one of the most meaningful relationships we’ve built. Together, we’ve been able to support countless less fortunate children—providing them with resources, mentorship, and moments of joy they might not otherwise experience. Athletes For Causes brings an unmatched passion and integrity to its mission, and we are proud to stand alongside them in creating opportunities that truly change lives. We look forward to continuing this meaningful work for many years to come."

 “Our partnership with Lance Briggs and the Athletes For Causes Foundation has been one of the most impactful collaborations in the history of the Chicago Housing Authority. For years, their annual Holiday Shopping Event has brought joy, motivation, and opportunity to our youth—rewarding children who have worked hard in the classroom and demonstrated strong character throughout the year. This initiative does more than provide gifts; it teaches life lessons about discipline, education, and the value of making positive choices. Lance and A4C have consistently shown a deep commitment to uplifting our communities, and we are proud to stand with them in creating experiences that inspire our young people to dream bigger and achieve more.”

 "Working with the Athletes For Causes Foundation has been one of the most rewarding partnerships we’ve had at Oakley. Our collaboration on the CHOC Hospital event in Orange County was a tremendous success—not only in fundraising, but in creating a powerful experience for the families and children who needed it most. Over the years, Oakley and A4C have teamed up on numerous initiatives, each one fueled by purpose, professionalism, and a shared commitment to giving back. The Foundation’s passion and execution consistently elevate every event, and we’re proud to stand alongside them in making a meaningful impact in communities across the country." 

CREATING AN IMPACT

Impact We Aim to Create

At the core of Athletes 4 Causes is a simple belief: lasting community change starts with investing in individual lives. Founder Marco Marciano has seen for decades that when a young person is given guidance, structure, and support, they don’t just improve in athletics — they grow in confidence, character, and direction.

A single student who learns discipline, accountability, and self-worth will carry those values into their homes, their schools, their future careers, and eventually, into the community around them. This creates a positive cycle: young people who are supported become adults who support others.

More Than Athletics, It’s About Character

At Athletes 4 Causes, our work extends far beyond the field. Talent is not the requirement; willingness is. We understand that not every young person will go on to play in college or pursue athletics professionally, and that is perfectly okay. What matters is the growth that happens through structured training, mentorship, proper nutrition, and consistent guidance. Through these experiences, young people learn reliability, discipline, respect, accountability, resilience, and what it truly means to carry themselves with character. These qualities last long after athletics end and help shape better students, leaders, family members, and contributors within the community. 

A Long Term Vision for Tulsa

While events and camps are meaningful, long-term impact requires a consistent space for growth. Our vision is to build a community facility that provides daily access to training, mentorship, nutrition, and support. It reflects the natural progression of our mission, creating a place where any young person can find stability and opportunity, and where the community can invest in a future that strengthens youth, families, and Tulsa as a whole. 

CHANGE A PERSON, CHANGE A COMMUNITY

Investing In The Next Generation

Athletes 4 Causes is dedicated to creating something that will serve future generations, a legacy built on character, opportunity, and hope for Tulsa’s youth. When we invest in one young person, we strengthen far more than their athletic potential. We influence their future families, their future decisions, and every person they will one day impact. The ripple effect of meaningful support can rewrite a life, uplift a community, and contribute to the long term health of a city. Change a life and you change a community. Change a community and you change a city.
