“Pure Game embodies all of the values and ideals that I hold dearest to my heart. It is encouraging, engaging, fun, active and compassionate. Telling a child who may never have been told that they matter is a special privilege. My mission is to help Pure Game staff, volunteers and sponsors continue to pry open the door to explore an adolescent or child’s interests and abilities. By working to teach our youth that they are worthwhile, talented and loved we are creating a generation of responsible and caring human beings who possess the foundation for living happy, fulfilling lives.”
