Who we are

Established in 2020, Be Greater With is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Cincinnati, Ohio. We proudly partner with Cincinnati Public Schools, with a primary focus on supporting elementary school athletics.

Our work began by providing new uniforms for elementary sports programs, including boys’ and girls’ basketball, flag football, volleyball, and track. As our impact has grown, so has our reach. We now host staff-vs-student games at elementary schools. Events that have become a major highlight for students, staff, and the entire school community.

At these events, we provide water bottles for young student-athletes and help create fun, inclusive experiences that bring schools and communities together. We also help host CPS Elementary Track Meets, collaborating with other local nonprofits to ensure these events are memorable, meaningful, and exciting for every child involved.

Our mission is to instill confidence in young student-athletes by connecting schools, families, and community partners to provide essential resources from athletic gear to health and wellness support. We believe sports teach invaluable life lessons such as teamwork, discipline, and perseverance and those lessons start best at a young age.
