Sport brings us together – we meet one another across borders and boundaries, we learn to compete as collaborators in the game, to respect and have compassion for one another even in opposition.
The Milwaukee Sports Collective digital platform, launching in early 2024, will facilitate dialogue between the sports and faith communities in Milwaukee. The tool will bring collaboration and partnerships to life in a real, impactful and lasting way. Digital dialogue within a locally focused network will lead to seamless connections between those seeking resources and those offering support, enabling leaders from both circles to collaborate, exchange needs and solutions, share best practices, network, and collectively overcome challenges.
MKE S.C. is a web-based app that will help sport-for-good organizations become more efficient, while helping them promote positive values and principles which are shared with the multi-faith communities.
This initiative is inspired by The Vatican Dicastery for Culture and Education, and jointly conceived by Save the Dream and the Sport at the Service of Humanity Foundation. Join us in revolutionizing how sports and faith communities uplift and support one another.

Our objective is to introduce similar tools at each of our annual conferences, including the event scheduled at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska, in 2024 –ensuring that the impact of our work in that region, like in Milwaukee, lives well beyond the end of the event.
