A resident of Livermore, CA, Eric Dillie is a superintendent of Schools at Key Educational Group. An accomplished nonprofit leader and education administration expert, he has held high-profile positions at various nonprofits. Eric Dillie serves as an advisory board member for several nonprofit organizations including the ShareWaves Foundation.
ShareWaves works round the clock to ensure each child gets to experience the life-enriching “power of sports.” The ShareWaves Foundation believes that support and collaboration from well-wishers can help level the playing field and allow all children to have equal opportunity in sports participation.
Sports competition is a key ingredient for promoting community. When children participate in sports, they acquire healthy habits that benefit them throughout their lifetime. Sports enable children to experience character-building interactions that positively impact them both on and off the field. By participating in sports, children acquire core values such as discipline, fairness, self-respect, integrity, selflessness, humility, patience, and tenacity, many of the key building blocks of a successful life.
ShareWaves continues to speak out about the inequalities associated with youth sports programs and how lack of participation makes kids miss out on physical health, academic development, and socioeconomic growth benefits. In the midst of all the challenges children face today, there is a call for a movement to help address opportunity gaps that prevent children from fully benefiting from the transformative power associated with sports and structured play.
