Foster Buddies Network is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to supporting foster children and underserved youth by creating access to mentorship, resources, and life-changing opportunities.

Founded by husband and wife Anthony and Leticia Blanco, Foster Buddies Network was built on a simple but powerful belief — that every child deserves the chance to grow, thrive, and experience the opportunities their community has to offer, regardless of their circumstances.

Since 2009, we have worked to bridge the gap for foster youth and underprivileged children by connecting them to positive outlets such as sports, arts, educational programs, and mentorship. Our goal is not only to provide access, but to build confidence, discipline, and hope in the lives of the young people we serve.

We are more than an organization — we are a network of caring individuals, partners, and supporters who believe in showing up for our youth with time, guidance, and encouragement. We strive to raise awareness about the needs of foster children while creating meaningful ways for the community to get involved and make a difference.

Through our programs and partnerships, we aim to create safe environments where youth feel supported, valued, and inspired to reach their full potential.

At our core, we are driven by one purpose: to create smiles, build hope, and change lives — one child at a time.
