Our Mission

The Carl Roland Athletic Foundation was established in loving memory of our beloved dad, Carl Roland - teacher, coach, mentor.

Our mission is to carry on Coach Carl Roland’s legacy of giving. We believe that sports play a pivotal role in supporting youth development, and lead to improved academic performance, fewer behavioral problems, and better mental health.

For many kids today, playing organized sports is a dream. Unfortunately, registration fees and equipment costs often keep those dreams from becoming a reality.

The Carl Roland Athletic Foundation exists to provide funding that allows all athletes to experience the lifelong benefits of sports. Donations to CRAF will help supply athletes in need with necessary equipment and cover the costs of registration fees for sports organizations.
