When you donate to Under the Lights Foundation, you’re doing more than supporting extracurricular activities – you’re investing in the complete development of young people across Alabama. Every contribution helps fund athletics programs that teach perseverance and teamwork, fine arts initiatives that build creativity and confidence, and mental wellness resources that help students thrive under pressure.

Your donation directly removes barriers that prevent talented students from participating. It funds equipment for the athlete who can’t afford cleats, provides instruments for the musician whose family struggles financially, and supports programs for students who need a place to belong and grow. These aren’t just activities – they’re pathways to discovering potential, building character, and developing the life skills that lead to future success.

We’ve already seen the incredible impact of community support across Alabama schools. Students who participate in our funded programs show improved academic performance, increased school engagement, and stronger social connections. They learn discipline, leadership, and resilience – qualities that serve them long after graduation. Many go on to receive college scholarships, pursue careers in their areas of passion, and become leaders who give back to their own communities.

Your investment multiplies exponentially. The shy student who finds their voice through theater may become an inspiring teacher. The athlete who learns to overcome adversity may become a mentor who guides others through challenges. The musician who discovers their passion through our programs may spend a lifetime bringing joy to others.

There’s no limit to the good we can accomplish together. With your support, we can reach more students, fund more programs, and ensure that financial circumstances never prevent a young person from discovering what makes them shine. Join us in lighting the way for Alabama’s next generation.

Every donation matters. Every student deserves their spotlight.
