About The Leave No One Behind™ Initiative
Baron® has often realized that the scenarios athletes face during competition often have plenty in common with the situations they encounter daily. The ability to persevere during struggles or flourish when opportunity knocks allows sports to impart these, along with many other necessary qualities for athletes to navigate through life.
Baron®‘s Leave No One Behind™ Program works to foster collaborations, partnerships, and to have a significant impact in the sports-based sector. The Leave No One Behind™ Program was established for players, coaches, or entire organizations that may lack the means to fully participate in or celebrate their sport.
Every day, there are examples of individuals or teams that would have been sidelined if it weren’t for the generosity of coaches, parents, and other players who financially support league fees, uniforms, or even Championship Rings.
Baron® sought to alleviate this burden by creating the Leave No One Behind™ program and recently incorporated “Leave No One Behind™” as a Canadian Federal Not-for-profit corporation.
We are a team of passionate professionals who strive every day to inspire excellence and recognize greatness in the captivating world of sports. The deployment of the Leave No One Behind™ program aims to level the playing field and ensure every athlete and team receives the support they need.
Our program is about empowering people by “Paying It Forward” and generating a ripple effect from one athlete or team to the next. Sport builds character, increases confidence, and often teaches life lessons that extend well beyond the playing field.
Baron® and the LNOB™ will continue to share inspirational stories from the individuals and teams that this initiative can reach.
