But I remember and I can only say it my way just being this little girl on an August afternoon saying God , if you're real , when I grow up , can you help me do this for other people ? That's , that's my purpose , creating hope and possibility through sports , for the people who need it most , whatever that looks like . Well , that leads me to the second pillar of our company .
And of course , it helps to have some realistic resonating moments which you shared with us today . But I think sports philanthropy is one of the next horizons that we're going to accomplish together because athletes hold such a special place in our heart . You know , the little Kayla Brad or your maiden name , whatever it was when you were young and going to Saint Orbits and looking up at those big football players , I've seen some of your pictures on social media , Kayla , you're never gonna play defensive line for the Green Bay Packers , but it doesn't mean that you can't use that passion .
And it was those Green Bay Packers who helped me to believe in myself , this little girl in poverty from a town of 8000 people who grew up physically , sexually and emotionally abused to say you see something in me , maybe just maybe I can start to see it in myself and then maybe if I can see it in myself , maybe I can help other people see it in themselves too . And for me , sports is the tool to do that . It's about literally creating stronger , healthier and more inclusive communities using sports as the tool .
So mark the crazy thing that happens in life is when we start believing in other people and we create hope and possibility in their lives sooner or later , just maybe they'll start to believe in the things that we see in them . And it was those Green Bay Packers who helped me to believe in myself , this little girl in poverty from a town of 8000 people who grew up physically , sexually and emotionally abused to say you see something in me , maybe just maybe I can start to see it in myself and then maybe if I can see it in myself , maybe I can help other people see it in themselves too . And for me , sports is the tool to do that .
And for me , sports is the tool to do that . It's about literally creating stronger , healthier and more inclusive communities using sports as the tool . If that makes sense .
