The Michael Lee Sparling Foundation was created to honor the life and legacy of Pvt. Michael Lee Sparling, who tragically passed away during a physical training exercise on June 1, 2011. Michael was known for his selfless heart, the kind of person who would give the shirt off his back to help someone in need.

In his memory, we are committed to carrying that spirit of service forward. Our foundation focuses on creating meaningful impact in the lives of youth through four core pillars:

SUPPORTING YOUTH ATHLETES

We help remove financial barriers for young athletes by providing sports gear, uniforms, and equipment, so more kids can experience the life-changing power of team sports.

Providing Winter Coats

We distribute brand new coats to children and teens to ensure no child faces the cold unprepared.

Promoting PRE-WORKOUT Supplement Safety

We raise awareness about the dangers of unregulated pre-workout supplements — an issue that is deeply personal to our family and an important part of Michael’s story.

Honoring Michael’s Legacy

Through all our efforts, we remain rooted in Michael’s memory and the values he lived by: service, integrity, and heart.

With your support, we can continue to protect, inspire, and uplift the next generation.
