Kids Play Int’l operates under the nonprofit organization People Helping People International (PHPI) MISSION Founded in 2008, People Helping People International (PHPI) is dedicated to increasing the quality of life for disadvantaged individuals in the United States and abroad through education and sports. HISTORY PHPI evolved from an earlier nonprofit organization, Association of People Helping People (APHP), established in 1995 by Robert Evans Sr. to provide a revenue source for the Cree Indian Nation in Quebec, Canada by offering Outward Bound programs. In 2002, APHP functioning as a private foundation, added the Golden Games, an Olympian-inspired program for seniors in the United States started by Tracy Evans, a three-time Olympian in Freestyle Skiing. KPI INCEPTION Three-time winter Olympian Tracy Evans was inspired by a volunteer trip she took to Africa. She experienced first hand the positive impact sport had on the impoverished youth with whom she worked. Seeing how little access these children have to sports, she returned to the United States determined to create a year-round community sports education program for kids in developing countries. Recognizing the power of sports from her own experience as an Olympic athlete, Evans wanted to start a nonprofit organization that would help educate, empower and teach life lessons in a fun and engaging setting. This desire led to the creation of Kids Play Int’l (KPI) in 2008 OUR TEAM BOARD
