Help create meaningful experiences and lasting community impact.
Every Game Day Experience, recognition, story, and partnership begins because someone chooses to show up.

Your support becomes moments people carry.
A participant stepping into an experience they will remember. A dad or father figure realizing their effort has been seen. A young person sharing a meaningful day with people who support them. These moments begin with people who choose to help.
Creating memories that last long after the final whistle.
Through gifted tickets, trusted referrals, local support, and community care, DFIO creates meaningful live-sports experiences for children, youth, families, foster youth, veterans, individuals, caregivers, and others navigating challenging circumstances.
Game Day Experience is DFIO’s primary community-impact program, bringing people, organizations, and resources together around meaningful shared moments.

Community Partners help move the work forward
Organizations, businesses, sports organizations, community groups, creators, supporters, and others collaborate with DFIO or help advance its work through tickets, funding, referrals, connections, services, promotion, and other support.
This work is community-powered.
Donors, businesses, nonprofits, ticket holders, partner organizations, participants, families, and supporters each help make DFIO’s work possible. Some give financially. Some share tickets. Some refer participants. Some open doors. Together, they help turn recognition, stories, support, and experiences into something real.
Financial transparency
We want every supporter to understand how DFIO is organized, how giving is handled, and where to find the records that help support that trust.
