Welcome to Winning Because I Tried
The “Winning Because I Tried” message teaches children, ages 8-18, that success is in your effort, not the final outcome. In reality, it’s not about the win or loss, it’s about believing in yourself and doing the best you can!
The goal is to make youth better prepared for what life has to offer. This will be accomplished by using fun games, activities and lectures. This method captures the child’s attention and will also foster good physical activity in children.

Noreon
Ordinary people can accomplish extraordinary things
when you “Do Not Give Up”!
