Breaking Screens: Why We Started This & How You Can Help
Screens are everywhere.
Sports are expensive.
And too many kids are being left behind.
So we decided to do something about it.
Here on Kent Island, we believe in hard work, showing up for each other, and giving kids every chance to grow into strong, confident individuals. But we have seen a shift: kids aren’t moving like they used to.
Not because they don’t want to, but because the world around them is pulling them in a different direction. More screens, fewer sports, and too many kids missing out on the life-changing benefits of movement and mentorship.
Kids today spend 7+ hours a day on screens, and it’s taking a toll.
Nearly 50% of children are overweight or obese
30% of teens have pre-diabetes
40% have a mental health diagnosis
And many families simply can’t afford the rising costs of youth sports
But here’s the good news: movement still works. Mentorship still matters. And when kids are given the chance to train, compete, and be part of something bigger than themselves, the results are powerful.
Confidence grows. Screen time drops. Kids start believing in what they’re capable of.
That’s why we launched Breaking Screens.
Introducing: Breaking Screens
Breaking Screens is a nonprofit we’ve launched to create more accessible, high-level athletic opportunities for kids on Kent Island. Especially those who wouldn’t otherwise have the chance to train, compete, and grow through sports. We're starting with wrestling, a sport that teaches grit, confidence, and character in a way that nothing else can.
The mission is simple:
Get kids off screens and into the game
Provide affordable, year-round coaching in our community
Offer scholarships, mentorship, and access to training facilities
And build something positive, lasting, and real
This isn’t just about developing athletes. It’s about helping kids build resilience, discipline, and community. It’s about making sure every child has a chance to feel strong, capable, and proud of what they can do.
