ABOUT THE CAUSE

The Pinball Foundation empowers equity-deserving youth by breaking down barriers to education, mentorship, and career opportunities. All funds raised from the Pinball Classic will support the Education and Mentorship Fund. 

 

We work with community partners to identify youth in need of support and provide mentorship and exclusive opportunities as they pursue their post-secondary education.

 

Mentorship includes academic support, career preparedness, life skills development,  emergency support, mental health support, financial literacy, group and one-on-one mentorship sessions run by our professional Mentorship Team.

 

We recognize that youth that struggle with challenges carry them into their adult life. Our support continues through their career journey, as challenges do not stop after post-secondary. Our goal is to stay in contact with the youth until they are stable. Youth that transition to their career are encouraged to stay in the program as Alumni to receive continued support and help guide their peers to success.
