Vandy Alumni

Dear Alumni,

Welcome to the Sports Servants’ website and thank you for reading the article in Vanderbilt Magazine (Read the article). It is an honor to be highlighted as one of the many people making a difference in the world. And, while I am the young man in the group, I believe my hopes and dreams match up to the realities of those who have come before me. I hope to continue the legacy and build something that will bring about positive change to the country of Belize and beyond.

This Fall Sports Servants is leaving the umbrella of another organization and is filing to become an independent 501(c)3 organization. There are so many great opportunities that are calling us to take Sports Servants to the next level. We are forming a board of dedicated leaders who have been to Belize and believe in this movement as much as I do. With their help, and hopefully yours as well, we can make significant steps towards serving thousands of people.

This article came at such an opportune time for Sports Servants. We are ready to take our past 4 years of experience, relationships, resources, and volunteers to a place that would bring so much positive change in the coming years. I would love for you to look around the site and take note of the ways you could be involved. As the highest priority, we are looking to find 10 individuals, families, or foundations to become a part of the Founder's Circle. We are looking to raise the money in order to build our organization and fully engage the opportunities awaiting us in Belize, most notably our School Program Initiative.

In the past 4 years I have never felt more convicted than I do now about the potential for our programs. In the next three years, it is more conceivable to me that we will take our program into every school throughout the whole country of Belize than for this movement to dwindle and fail. My faith has played the lead role in these past 4 years, and it continues to grow more and more each day as I see the pieces coming together to change the lives of these children in Belize. Hope is found in their smiles and in the passion-filled hearts of those we work with in Belize.

I hope you enjoy the site and consider joining me in making this vision and these dreams come true.

Sincerely,

Zac Hood
Class of 2005
