Raising the Roof Program
What Is It?
Sow Good Now was founded in July 2018 by three mothers who are former college athletes and who have raised athletes. They introduced the SGN GiveBack Model where they partner with different athletic associations through local schools and communities where it unites athletes with underserved youth and builds new communities through their GiveBack events.
The three pillars to our program is to build community, teach philanthropy and inspire impact. Since O’Donnell Roofing has similar values, they wanted to partner with Sow Good Now and introduce a new program to our model, called “Raising the Roof – Honoring Young, Philanthropic Athletes”. This program will honor one young athlete on a quarterly basis that will be chosen by Sow Good Now.
Congratulations to our Raising the Roof winners!
