01./ OUR MISSION

Runway to the Game™ (RTTG) exists to expand what’s possible for young athletes and emerging designers. We believe no young person is “just” one thing. Not just an athlete. Not just a designer. Not just a student.

They are layered, gifted, and full of potential — and our job is to help them build a foundation strong enough to carry them into every chapter of their future.

02./ WHAT MAKES RTTG DIFFERENT

RTTG blendssport, creativity, culture, and entrepreneurship into one powerful ecosystem. Young people learn how to:

  • Build confidence
  • Express identity
  • Lead with character
  • Think like innovators
  • Develop their craft
  • Grow as global citizens
  • Create multiple career pathways

We don’t prepare them for one outcome —we prepare them for a lifetime of evolution.

03./ OUR 2026 APPROACH

In 2026, RTTG expands its programming to give students a deeper and more dynamic experience designed for long-term growth. A Year of Development Includes:

  • Workshops and creative labs
  • Athletic and performance training
  • Mentorship from industry professionals
  • Leadership and wellness sessions
  • Cultural and educational travel
  • Collaborative projects across sport + creativity
  • Real-world exposure and career readiness

Each touchpoint builds another layer of skill, confidence, and possibility.

04./ SUMMER 2026 CULTURAL JOURNEY

A select group of students will take part in a curated international experience that introduces them to new perspectives, new opportunities, and new ways of seeing themselves.We keep the full itinerary private — but here’s what we can share:

  • Build independence and global awareness
  • Work creatively and collaboratively
  • Experience new cultures and environments
  • Strengthen leadership and communication
  • Develop adaptability in unfamiliar settings
  • See new versions of what their life can become

This isn’t a trip. It’s a turning point.

05./ YEAR-ROUND SUPPORT

RTTG provides ongoing guidance that carries students far beyond a single moment. Our support includes:

  • Mentorship
  • Materials and resources
  • Local events and training
  • Creative and athletic labs
  • College, career, and portfolio readiness
  • Emotional and leadership development

We help each student grow in every dimension — as creators, athletes, thinkers, and young professionals.

06./ A FOUNDATION THAT TRAVELS WITH THEM

The core of RTTG is simple: We give students the ability to pivot, expand, and evolve. We teach them how to:

  • Build a personal brand
  • Think entrepreneurially
  • Present their ideas
  • Understand basic business
  • Collaborate across fields
  • Create multiple revenue paths
  • Reinvent when opportunities shift

Because a young person shouldn’t be limited to a single lane —they should be prepared for the entire road ahead.

An athlete might one day be a designer.
A designer might step into sports, business, or leadership.
A student might discover a passion that didn’t exist a year ago.

RTTG gives them the skills to grow every time life grows around them.

07./ YEAR-END CELEBRATION

At the end of 2026, we gather to honor our students — their effort, their achievements, their creativity, and the person they’re becoming.This celebration shines a light on:

  • Their multidimensional growth
  • Their leadership
  • Their courage
  • Their vision
  • Their stories

It’s a moment of joy, recognition, and new beginnings.

08./ 2026 IMPACT GOALS

We are focused on outcomes that elevate our students long-term:

  • Expanded mentorship and development
  • More creative and athletic workshops
  • Cultural and educational travel opportunities
  • Support for materials, tools, and essentials
  • Growth in leadership + entrepreneurial capacity
  • Local community impact and service
  • A public impact report highlighting student progress

We share the outcomes —We protect the deeper model that makes those outcomes possible.
