Despite never being the best player on the field, Kevin always valued grit, determination, and resilience from a young age. Eventually, Kevin was a three-sport varsity athlete who went on to be captain of his college baseball team at Fordham University. Since he founded Rally in 2012, Kevin has turned that passion for excellence to help thousands of children and staff each summer foster a sense of inclusion, self-improvement, and determination. The goal? Teach indelible life skills and foster fun experiences through sports and other activities during the times that children are out of school. Kevin always learned the most from coaches and mentors and believes that summer camps, and sports, are an essential teacher of life’s most important lessons.
