Book Ovie The Ovie Mughelli Foundation.
Kids tune out lectures on science and sustainability. Since 2009, our 501(c)(3) has used sports, comic books, and hands-on athletic camps to get students excited about STEM, literacy, and environmental stewardship.
501(c)(3) · Founded 2009 · Executive Director: Masika Mughelli · Goal: 20,000 students reached per year
How we reach students in classrooms, camps, and stadiums.
Gridiron Green & Gridiron Green Studio
Comic book series and augmented-reality companion co-published with Comics Uniting Nations and UNICEF, teaching the UN's Sustainable Development Goals through football storytelling.
Protect Where We Play
National stewardship initiative alongside Ocean Conservancy's Team Ocean — mobilizing athletes, students, and fans to protect waterways and reduce single-use plastics.
Green Camps
Hands-on STEM and sustainability programming integrated directly with athletic camps so students learn science and conservation by doing.
The Green Speaker Series & Recycle on the Run
Live school visits, stadium activations, and campus assemblies that bring pro athletes, scientists, and civic leaders into classrooms.
Human health and environmental health are connected.
When my two youngest children were born premature, it changed how I looked at both healthcare and the environment. Alongside Executive Director Masika Mughelli, we built the Foundation to meet students where they already pay attention — through sports, comics, and hands-on camps — partnering with UNICEF, Comics Uniting Nations, Ocean Conservancy, and the Earth Day Network.
