JSOLOPHOTO Play It Forward Fund
Helping Local Kids Get On The Field
For more than 15 years, Jim Solomon Photography has proudly served the youth sports community throughout South Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania. Through picture days, media days, tournaments, games, and community events, we have had the opportunity to photograph thousands of young athletes and witness the powerful impact sports can have on children and families.
Youth sports give kids more than a uniform and a schedule. They help build confidence, teach teamwork, create friendships, develop leadership skills, and give children a place to belong.
Unfortunately, not every child gets that opportunity.
With rising registration fees, equipment costs, travel expenses, and league participation costs, many families face financial barriers that make it difficult for their children to participate.
The JSOLOPHOTO Play It Forward Fund was created to help change that.
Our mission is simple: to help local children participate in youth sports by providing financial assistance for registration fees and related participation expenses.
Through donations, business sponsorships, fundraising efforts, and contributions from Jim Solomon Photography, the Play It Forward Fund helps provide youth sports scholarship assistance to local families in need. Whenever possible, funds are paid directly to the participating organization, league, or team to help cover registration costs and ensure support goes directly toward giving a child the opportunity to play.
Every donation and sponsorship helps create real impact in our community.
Whether you are a parent adding a small donation to your photo order, a local business becoming a sponsor, or a community member who simply wants to help, your support helps remove financial barriers and opens the door for more children to experience the benefits of youth sports.
Together, we can help more kids step onto the field, court, mat, track, or cheer floor with confidence.
Because every child deserves a chance to play.
Local businesses can support the fund through Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Champion sponsorship levels. Sponsorship not only helps local children and families, but also gives businesses meaningful visibility throughout the youth sports community through website recognition, social media promotion, email recognition, event signage, sponsor banners, and other opportunities based on sponsorship level.
Supporting youth sports is a powerful way to show families that your business believes in giving back to the community.
Our Promise
The JSOLOPHOTO Play It Forward Fund was built with one goal in mind: helping local kids get on the field.
We are committed to keeping the process respectful, community-focused, and centered around the children and families who need support. Personal information for scholarship recipients will remain private, and assistance will be handled with care and discretion.
Together, we are not just capturing memories.
We are creating opportunities.
