What’s the challenge?
Under-resourced youth in Norfolk may face challenges accessing sports programs due to financial constraints, potentially impeding their development and contributing to cycles of disengagement and limited opportunities. Without support, these obstacles could have enduring effects on both individual well-being and broader societal dynamics. Learn more through our Mike’s Hope: Legacy Foundation of Hope one-pager.
Our Mission
The mission of Mike’s Hope is to foster community and bridge the gaps in opportunity for youth sports in Norfolk.
We will accomplish this mission by removing barriers to training and competing in youth sports and providing access to equipment and leadership opportunities.
This work is inspired by Mike' Cutter’s commitment to economic development and community engagement. In Mike’s memory, we strive to inspire young people to step into leadership that leaves a positive, lasting impact across Tidewater.
“Hope… often it is in your children’s eyes.”
