Kannapolis Youth Sports is a football league serving Cabarrus and Rowan Counties, but is in desperate need of funding to continue.
The overwhelming majority of the kids that participate in the league come from single-parent homes, and Chavis Maxwell, who heads the program along with Kannapolis City workers and ministers, strives to provide a positive male influence in their life.
Maxwell has a pretty remarkable story as well, as his son, Kennan, played on the team in 2009 before being diagnosed with leukemia.
To keep Kennan motivated through treatment, Maxwell showed him old game tapes. Keenan received a bone marrow transplant in 2010 and thankfully has been cancer-free since. Keenan is now in high school and volunteers with his dad at Kannapolis Youth Sports.
The program needs to raise $5,370 by 6 p.m. on Friday, May 23.
If they hit their mark, the DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation will match dollar-for-dollar, giving Kannapolis Youth Sports $11,500.
