Hello! My name is Henry Doherty, and I am a freshman at Mamaroneck High School. I am honored to have been given the opportunity to represent the Henrik Lundqvist Foundation as a 2024 Young Ambassador this year.

Henrik Lundqvist was a remarkable goalie for the New York Rangers for over a decade, and in 2014, he created the Henrik Lundqvist Foundation. Through its fundraising efforts and community outreach, the foundation strives to make positive changes in the lives of children and adults worldwide through education and health services.

As a young ambassador for the foundation, I am inspired to give back to my hometown by raising money for a local charity called Fields for Kids. Fields for Kids is a volunteer organization committed to working with local leaders to maximize access to quality fields for recreational activities in my community.

Growing up, sports played a crucial role in shaping who I am today. From the thrill of scoring my first goal to the camaraderie of being part of a team, sports taught me the values of hard work, discipline, and teamwork. Now, I am passionate about providing the same opportunities for other children in my hometown.

Community support and collaboration are key in addressing the poor conditions of sports fields and advocating for improvements. Coming together to prioritize the need for improvement and safety measures on sports fields is important to ensure the well-being of young athletes. By investing in the upkeep of these fields, we can create a safe and supportive environment for kids to develop their skills and passion for sports. Proper maintenance can also enhance the overall experience for players, coaches, and spectators, making sports more enjoyable and rewarding for everyone involved. Ultimately, prioritizing the safety and quality of sports fields is essential in promoting the physical and emotional well-being of young athletes and fostering a positive sports culture.

With your support, we can build a brighter future for our community. By donating to our cause, your generosity will not only enhance the physical landscape of our town but also empower the next generation of athletes to chase their dreams.
