The Founder
Lemay Penate I am the founder of Circle of Sports, here’s my story, my whole life I’ve struggled with my passion for sports in one hand, and the availability of sports equipment on the other. Seeing this issue all around me stuck with me. Growing up with this issue was a call to action to help those children and aspiring athletes to reach their dream goals and give them a chance to enjoy the opportunity they have through sports. I hope I can affect as many people as I can with this project and overall make the world better, one donation at a time!
Community Outreach Manager
My name is Jose Perez, and I joined Circle of Sports because I’m passionate about making a difference in the community one donation at a time. Growing up in a Hispanic household, there were times when my parents couldn’t afford to freely spend money on sports equipment or fees, which sometimes caused me to lose interest in the activities I loved. I always wished there was a way to change that not just for me, but for others like me. Now, I’m proud to be part of a movement that’s creating that change. Circle of Sports gives a voice to young athletes who have the talent and drive but lack the resources, and I’m honored to be one of those voices. I want to send a powerful call to companies and supporters to join our mission and help make sports accessible for every child. As someone involved in the Academy of Finance, I’ve developed a strong passion for networking, and this opportunity allows me to combine my drive for leadership and service with my desire to connect and uplift others in need.

I have always been passionate about teaching and helping kids grow in all areas of life, and through this initiative, I get to support that mission beyond the classroom. As the Social Media Manager, I love using my creativity to spread awareness, celebrate our impact, and bring our community together through our posts and updates. It’s inspiring to be part of something that makes a real difference, one donation at a time.
