Fuel The Community With Us

The Grind League is more than a nonprofit—it’s a movement of purpose, passion, and community. When you sponsor our mission, you’re not just donating—you’re investing in real lives, real dreams, and a better tomorrow for Lorain County and beyond.

“Why it Matters”

Every court we refurbish, every event we host, and every young person we reach is a step toward unity, healing, and hope.

Your support can change the trajectory of someone’s life. It already has—and it will again. Be the reason a young person feels seen, heard, and inspired. Be the inspiration that constitutes for a positive change and create history with us!

Councilman Rey Carrion Testimonial

Community Leaders Believe in The Grind League

Former 6th Ward Councilman Rey Carrion shared heartfelt pride in seeing our Founder, Darius Winborn, bring the community together through an event that bloomed into something truly special. As a respected leader in Lorain’s Southside—a neighborhood rich in Latino culture and history—Rey recognized how powerful it was to have one of their own stand up and create positive change.

His public support helped build trust within the Latino community and opened doors for future Grind League events, proving that when leaders lead with heart, communities rise with them.

Now, with Antonio Baez stepping in as the new 6th Ward Councilman—bringing with him experience as a husband, father, veteran, and advocate—we hope to build upon our strong foundation of leadership that believes in the mission of The Grind League.

This is more than an event—this is a movement. Join us in shaping what comes next.
