Run To Win

What Run To Win does

Run To Win Outreach is a faith-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit youth sports ministry founded in 1991 by Mike and Karen Rohrbach and headquartered in Edmonds, Washington. The organization runs 8 weeks of summer sports camps each year for youth ages 5-12 across the Greater Puget Sound area, from Granite Falls to White Center, offering instruction in baseball, basketball, cheer, flag football, lacrosse, multi-sport, pickleball, soccer, tennis, and volleyball at partner church and school facilities. Camps are priced between $135 and $185 per week with Extended Care add-ons, and registration is processed through the third-party Campium platform; over $90,000 in scholarships were disbursed in 2025 to remove financial barriers.

Beyond seasonal camps, Run To Win operates a year-round portfolio including a Chaplaincy Program serving high school and college athletic teams (UW, Seattle Prep, Northwest University), a monthly Zoom Chapel digital series, the Developing Winners podcast and downloadable devotionals, community events (RTW Auction, Legends Luncheon, Golf Classic), the Spruce Elementary after-school Sports & Art Club, and an annual Coach Training Program that recruits and vets seasonal mentors. Marketing is driven through the organizational website, blog, social channels (Instagram, Facebook, X, YouTube, LinkedIn), email newsletter, and the podcast.

The revenue model combines fee-for-service camp registration, recurring individual donations through the Team 54 program ($54/month, named after the founder's Husky number), corporate sponsorships (Gold Medal tier includes Wesco Group, Novak Team, Premier Wealth WA, Beresford Booth, ARTCO Sign Company; Campbell Auto Group as Community Driven Partner), auction proceeds, employer matching gifts, and legacy giving through bequests and beneficiary designations. Governance is provided by an All-Star Board of Directors; day-to-day operations are led by Executive Director Caitlyn Houvener with approximately five full-time staff, supported by seasonal coaches and founder volunteers.

Direct peers

• Upward Sports: National faith-based youth sports league and camp provider that integrates character and faith development into sports instruction, directly comparable to Run To Win's faith-based youth sports camp model. Upward operates at a much larger national scale, making it the most analogous scaled peer.
• Kids Across America (KAA): Faith-based summer camp organization offering sports and recreation camps for youth with an evangelistic mission. Closely comparable to Run To Win in mission, target demographic, and multi-sport camp delivery, though it operates as a residential camp model.
• Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA): Faith-based sports ministry that runs camps, chaplaincy programs, and Huddle groups for student athletes, sharing Run To Win's evangelistic mission and chaplaincy-to-athletic-teams model. FCA is significantly larger and operates nationwide, providing a benchmark for what Run To Win could scale toward.
• Athletes in Action: Faith-based sports ministry affiliated with Cru that combines athletic camps, chaplaincy, and discipleship programming. Highly comparable to Run To Win in mission, target demographic, and camp-based delivery model.

Broad incumbents

• i9 Sports: National youth sports league and camp franchise serving the same 5-12 age demographic with multi-sport offerings. Comparable in product and target customer but operates as a franchise model without the faith-based or chaplaincy layer.
• Young Life: National Christian youth ministry that combines camp experiences, club programming, and discipleship for adolescents. Comparable in faith-based youth development mission and the camp-plus-club model, but not specifically sports-focused.
• Boys & Girls Clubs of America: National youth development nonprofit offering sports, character, and educational programming to young people. Comparable in nonprofit youth development mission and scholarship/access commitments, but much broader in scope and secular in orientation.
• Skyhawks Sports Academy: National youth sports camp and clinic operator offering multi-sport instruction for kids ages 4-12. Comparable product (multi-sport summer camps for similar age group) but secular, much larger scale, and franchise-style distribution.

Regional players

• YMCA of Greater Seattle: Regional YMCA offering youth sports camps and recreation programs across the same Greater Puget Sound geography. Competes for the same families and venue partnerships but is secular and operates broader facility-based programming rather than faith-integrated sports instruction.

Emerging players

• National Youth Sports (NYS): Operator of youth sports camps and clinics with a values/character development curriculum. Comparable in targeting youth ages 5-12 for multi-sport summer programming, though secular and operating in different geographies than Run To Win.
