The Kids being Kids Organization was founded by two dedicated students from Western University, Ben Lambert and Adam Cohen, who share a common goal of giving back to their community. Recognizing the tremendous impact that sports can have on a child's life, they firmly believe that every child should have the opportunity to experience the joy, camaraderie, and personal growth that come with participating in sports, regardless of their economic circumstances.
​
Motivated by their own experiences and the support they received from their community, Ben and Adam decided to harness the power of their local community and extend the same opportunities to the next generation of athletes. They rallied their community members, including fellow students, families, and local businesses, to join their cause.
​
The primary focus of the Kids being Kids Organization is to ensure that every child, irrespective of their economic background, has access to sports. One of their key initiatives involves collecting both new and used sports equipment to distribute to organizations in need. By gathering donations of sports equipment, they aim to bridge the gap and provide underprivileged children with the necessary resources to participate in various sports activities.
​
Since its establishment, the organization has achieved remarkable success. They have managed to donate over $20,000 worth of sports equipment and running shoes to renowned organizations such as the Boys and Girls Club, YMCA, and Teen Challenge. These donations have directly impacted the lives of numerous children, enabling them to pursue their sporting dreams and develop essential life skills through sports.

Looking ahead, the Kids being Kids Organization has ambitious plans for the future. Their main objective is to expand their outreach efforts and increase their impact by securing monetary donations from generous supporters. By the end of 2023, they hope to establish a robust financial support system that will enable them to further enhance their initiatives and extend their reach to even more deserving children in the community.
​
Through their unwavering commitment and the collective efforts of their community, Ben and Adam, along with the Kids being Kids Organization, are making a significant difference in the lives of young athletes. By leveling the playing field and providing equal opportunities for all children, they are not only fostering a love for sports but also creating a legacy of inclusivity, friendship, and long-lasting memories for generations to come.
