Share

DALLAS (May 28, 2025) – The Unleashed Brands Foundation, the charitable affiliate of Unleashed Brands, the world’s leading youth enrichment platform serving thousands of communities nationwide – has announced a $1 million commitment to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Dare to Dream Project over the next five years. This substantial pledge will support LLS’s mission to cure blood cancer and improve the quality of life of all patients and their families. With this commitment, the Unleashed Brands Foundation becomes a key supporter of the Dare to Dream Project, LLS’s flagship initiative focused on transforming treatment and care for children with blood cancer.

The partnership will feature multiple charitable initiatives annually across Unleashed Brands’ family of franchise brands, which collectively provide screen-free fun and enrichment to millions of families and support thousands of small business owners in their local communities. Brands participating include Urban Air Adventure Park, The Little Gym, Sylvan Learning, Snapology, XP League, Class 101, Premier Martial Arts and Water Wings Swim School. Guests and members at these locations can support the cause by “rounding up” their transactions or purchasing special “Sock it to Cancer” socks, with proceeds benefiting blood cancer research. The Unleashed Brands Foundation will be recognized as a “Pioneer Partner” and will play a central role in LLS Dare to Dream Days.

“At Unleashed Brands, we are passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of children and families in the communities we serve,” said Michael Browning Jr., CEO of Unleashed Brands. “We’re proud to partner with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and help in their lifesaving work of transforming treatment and care for kids with blood cancer.”

Since its inception, The Unleashed Brands Foundation has supported LLS through efforts like the annual Sock it to Cancer campaign and by granting dream experiences to young survivors like Samuel, a leukemia survivor. In May 2025, the partnership was formalized and will continue through 2030, providing critical funding for LLS’s Dare to Dream Project and Give for More Life campaigns.

“We are proud to partner with the Unleashed Brands Foundation to help power innovative research, new, safer treatments, support services, and advocacy for kids,” said Coker Powell, LLS Chief Revenue Officer. “This generous commitment from Unleashed Brands Foundation will make a meaningful difference for those facing blood cancers.”

The Unleashed Brands Foundation is dedicated to creating opportunities for every child, regardless of circumstance, to learn with intention, play without fear, and grow into purposeful futures. With the support of donors, nonprofit partners, and franchisees, the Foundation extends the Unleashed Brands vision of investing in today’s kids and tomorrow’s leaders, helping them unleash their full potential for a brighter future.
