Youth Empowerment

Kate’s Club
“This cause is very near and dear to me because I am a grieving adult myself.”
Kate’s Club is a community for children, teens, young adults, and their families who have experienced the death of someone close to them. Through peer support groups, social outings, grief education, and family programs, they create spaces where kids can share their stories, find understanding, and discover that healing is possible together.

Derrick Barnes is helping Detroit youth unlock confidence and possibility

Derrick Barnes knows what can happen when a young person has someone in their corner.

From hands-on support to creative opportunities — including collaborating with a DBG teen on his custom cleats — Derrick is helping the next generation see a future they can truly own.
