ABOUT US

HISTORY

Change the Game was established in 2013 by a small business entrepreneur who saw the need for more young entrepreneurs in his community. With this, Donald Penegar decided to create a non-profit program tailored to introduce inner city youth to the fundamentals of living a well-balanced and financially stable life. He and his team reaches out to professional entertainers, financial consultants, business owners, and teachers who were all raised in low income communities. These game changers are the personification of the program’s mission and have agreed to donate their time to help inspire our youth to CHANGE THE GAME.
