The Miles 4 Mentors Fun Run Series may be one of our most visible programs in Willmar, MN, but it is far from all we do. We have several programs and initiatives from providing needed funds for athletic activities to providing mentorship to our participants.

Pay to Play Scholarships

We believe that every child should be able to participate in youth sports and other activities and that by participating they will gain valuable skills and confidence that will carry with them through adulthood. The Pay to Play Initiative Scholarship was developed to provide scholarship funding to cover youth activity fees and equipment for families facing financial hardship. Families are asked to pay what they can afford, and the remainder may be provided through a scholarship. Funds apply to activity fees, equipment, uniforms, and other related needs. 

Miles 4 Mentors is proud to offer these scholarships to local families with children in kindergarten through 12th Grade. To date, we have provided scholarships for swimming, karate, and dance lessons, football camps, soccer, and more. We have helped numerous families with financial assistance, athletic shoes, and mentoring. Our entire team from our board to our dedicated volunteers share a goal to help invest in area children to improve their chances of success in life.

Your Support In Action

About the Pay to Play Initiative

We have so many wonderful stories of how local families have been supported by Miles 4 Mentors, and we are so grateful for the opportunity to serve as a conduit for their success. These young brothers are new to our country and have a strong love of basketball, which they played in their home country. Wanting nothing more than to play basketball again, we were able to pay for their sports physicals, participation fees, and new basketball shoes. Both boys feel more encouraged, supported, and grateful, and we are happy to help. If you need assistance, please reach out and contact us.
