Our Story
Why we exist.
The Legacy Project began with a simple conviction: a kid's future should never be decided by the size of their family's bank account.

Dylan Clements
Gospeler | Entrepreneur
The Legacy Project was born from a simple belief: one opportunity, one mentor, and one season can change the trajectory of a child's life — and when a child's life changes, generations can change.
A results-driven business leader with 15+ years of experience scaling operations, building brands, and driving growth across community management, consumer products, and lifestyle ventures, Dylan specializes in operational leadership, strategic planning, and business development, with a proven ability to align teams, optimize performance, and deliver measurable results.
Known for combining disciplined execution with creative vision, he has launched and grown multiple successful ventures while building strong partnerships and high-performing teams. His leadership is rooted in faith in Jesus Christ — striving to lead with integrity, humility, and a servant's heart, putting people first and honoring God through his work.
Dylan is passionate about building ventures that not only succeed, but serve — reflecting Christ's love through action, developing others, strengthening communities, and creating lasting impact far beyond the bottom line.
Co-Founder & Executive Director
Kris Ortiz
Kris helped build The Legacy Project on a conviction he shares with Dylan: that every child deserves the chance to play, grow, and belong — regardless of what their family can afford. He brings a heart for service and a belief that mentorship and presence, showing up for kids long after the final whistle, are what truly change a life.
His work with the ministry is rooted in faith in Jesus Christ, striving to lead with humility, integrity, and a servant's heart. For Kris, this was never just about sports; it's about reflecting Christ's love through action, walking alongside families, and building something that lasts for generations.
Rooted In Faith
This was never just about sports.
The Legacy Project exists to reflect the love of Jesus Christ through action — meeting families where they are, serving without condition, and walking with kids long after the final whistle. We believe every child is made in God's image and worthy of the chance to play, grow, and belong. Sports are simply the field where that love takes shape.
“Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”
