Story
HI - we are Jake and Jake. Two 14-year old boys who created and run The Swish, an all-sports podcast and Instagram account which we started at age 11 in April of 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic.
We are both passionate about sports. We love to play, watch and discuss all sports. We began The Swish at the start of the pandemic as a way to keep ourselves busy with so much time at home as well as to raise money for Covid-19 relief from friends and family and others who were interested in listening to our podcast. To date, we have interviewed over 100 players, broadcasters and others in the sports industry and have raised over $12,000 to benefit the United Nations Foundation, Inc, (UN Foundation and UNF) COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for WHO, but we want to do more! Our passion was always to help children in need who didn't have the same resources that we are fortunate to have.
It's hard to believe that almost 3 years later, life for all still isn't back to what we used to call normal. We are lucky enough to be attending school 5 days a week and back to playing all of our beloved sports. We are also lucky enough to attend games as fans to cheer on our favorite teams but we haven't lost sight of the fact that many have not. The pandemic has affected everyone differently - financially, health and otherwise. We want to use our platform to continue to help others which is why we are thrilled to start raising much needed funds for The Garden of Dreams Foundation to help bring life-changing opportunities to young people in need.
Want to join us in making a difference? Any donation will help make an impact and no amount is too small.
Thanks in advance, Together we can hopefully change lives.
Jake and Jake
