Mark Rolison
Founder
As an avid entrepreneur, it has been one of Mark's personal goals to help people improve their lives through business and philanthropy.

Upon experiencing the pure elation of 250 school children after receiving a mere 3 soccer balls, Mark’s life light bulb went off. Being able to combine sports, healthy life styles, recycling goods and helping children was a dream come true. Mark is married to Katie - a MPS teacher. He sits on a few local board of directors, leads Habitat for Humanity trips, enjoys traveling, cooking and coaching/participating in anything his two daughters Khendel and Ella get in to.
