About Us

At Play It Forward Colorado, we believe that no child should be sidelined due to financial barriers. Founded by Richard Ray and Bryce Ray, former athletes who know firsthand the power of sports, our mission is to ensure that every young athlete in Colorado has the opportunity to play, compete, and grow—regardless of their financial situation.

For years, we’ve personally helped youth athletes by providing equipment and covering tournament fees. We saw the impact that even small acts of support could have, and we knew we had to do more. That’s why we created Play It Forward Colorado—to expand that reach and give every child a fair shot at pursuing their athletic dreams.

Through financial assistance, scholarships, and community support, we’re working to level the playing field so that passion and dedication—not financial limitations—determine a young athlete’s future.

Join us in breaking barriers, creating opportunities, and playing it forward. Together, we can make sure every child gets their chance to shine.
