The Give Team is the only obstacle course racing and endurance event team in the country focused on helping underserved youth with a leadership and goal achievement curriculum based in the Parramore community of Orlando, Florida. Our program empowers young men and women through challenges, teaching them that overcoming obstacles and consistent, persistent hard work builds strength.
You can help us maintain motivation during the summer by joining the challenge. Here's what you need to do:

The challenge illustrates the benefits of consistent hard work. With the school year ending, we need everyone on board to keep up the momentum we’ve built during our spring season. The Give Team 15 includes 15 exercises performed for 45 seconds with a 15-second rest, adjustable to meet your needs. Whether for metabolic conditioning, strength training, or mobility, the essential part of the challenge is consistency. While members of the team are taking on the challenge for the entire month, we ask our community to join us for the last two weeks of June.

Help Us Empower the Future of Parramore
The Parramore community of Orlando has long been labeled one of America's most dangerous areas. With high poverty rates, alarming crime statistics, and soaring unemployment, hope often feels like a distant dream for its young inhabitants. Many young men and women navigate their formative years in unsafe environments, grappling with the anxiety and fear that come with limited options. Our hearts ache knowing that so many eager and motivated youths are being turned away from the opportunities they desperately seek.
Our Mission
THE GIVE TEAM stands as the sole obstacle course racing and endurance event team in the country dedicated to empowering underserved youth. Our focus is on fostering goal achievement and nurturing leadership skills. We live by the motto, "No matter how little you have, you ALWAYS have something to give." Whether it's time, effort, kind words, or compassion, giving is key to building strength and community.
Our Urgent Need
To truly make an impact, we require a 15-passenger van. This vehicle isn't just a means of transportation; it's a tool that will unlock countless doors for our young members. With this van, we'll be able to transport more team members for our transformative weekly workouts and exciting events, expanding their exposure to new experiences and inspiring them to dream bigger.
Where Your Contributions Will Go
Your generous donations will be allocated towards securing a 15-passenger van and funding our events for 2025. Together, we can enhance our program's capacity and empower even more young individuals in the Parramore community.
The Impact of Your Support
By contributing to our cause, you will enable us to serve more kids, providing them with vital opportunities to push beyond their self-imposed limits. We have witnessed countless transformations in the lives of the young men and women we support—strength, confidence, and clarity of purpose emerge when they dare to strive for their full potential. Your support will also allow us to engage in healthy post-workout meals, instilling the importance of nutrition in their journey to physical and mental strength. Furthermore, with the ability to organize travel for overnight events, we will open their eyes to cities and experiences they might never encounter otherwise.
Stay Connected With Us
Your involvement matters greatly to us. We'll keep you informed on our journey through weekly updates and exciting social media posts on Instagram (@thegiveteam). Additionally, to express our gratitude for your support, every donor will receive a special GIVE TEAM PATCH featuring our 2025 motto: Energy is Contagious. YOU GET WHAT YOU GIVE! BE STRONG! GIVE MORE!
Join us on this vital mission to empower the youth of Parramore. Together, we can turn the tide of hopelessness into a wave of strength and community. Thank you for your kindness and support!
