He strongly believes in the incredible ability sports has in creating strong individuals and communities.

“To find an organization that shares in the passion of sports, and work with incredible individuals who do this for the betterment of others, is exciting” stated Kevin.

The Buddy Fund is a charity helping St. Louis area children without regard to race, ethnicity or religion. It was founded in 1962 by St. Louis Sportscaster Buddy Blattner to supply new sports equipment to other charities and organizations that used sports to help redirect and change the lives of at-risk underserved youth, including boys and girls clubs, police athletic leagues, homes for kids, community centers and after school programs.
