Sports
Rooted in Mark González’s journey as a Copa América champion and former Liverpool FC and Chilean national team player — the origin of LegendStar’s mission.
LegendStar Foundation · 501(c)(3)
Where sports, arts, music, and culture build lives.
A South Florida nonprofit developing the whole young person through four pillars — sports, arts, music, and culture. Founded by Mark González, Copa América champion and 17-season professional.
Our approach
We develop the whole person.
Sports, arts, music, and culture each build something a young person carries for life — health, discipline, creativity, confidence, identity, and belonging.
We use all four pillars to change the direction of young lives across South Florida. On the field, on the stage, in the studio, and in the community, young people learn to work, to lead, to lose and recover, and to believe in what they can become. Those lessons open doors to education, opportunity, and a stronger sense of self.
Our programs
Four pillars. One mission.
Sports, arts, music, and culture — four equal pillars, each developing the whole young person.
Arts

Music
Developing programs in music.
Culture

Supporting programs — serving all four pillars.
Every supporting program backs young people across sports, arts, music, and culture alike.
