Spreading Hope, Joy, and Generosity – One Gift at a Time
The Team Chase Foundation Food & Toy Drive is a seasonal community initiative that embodies the giving spirit of Chase Soares—a young man whose life radiated kindness, joy, and generosity. This event is one of the foundation’s signature outreach efforts, bringing together people of all ages to help families in need during the holiday season.
Rooted in Chase’s life motto to Care, Help, And Share Everyday, this drive encourages the community to step up and ensure that every child has a reason to smile and every family feels the warmth of compassion.
Event Purpose:
The holiday season is a time of connection, celebration, and gratitude—but for many families, it can also be a time of hardship. Through this event, the Team Chase Foundation collects non-perishable food items and new, unwrapped toys to distribute to local families and children who may otherwise go without.
This drive brings together donors, volunteers, and supporters to make a tangible difference in the lives of others—just as Chase always strived to do.
What to Donate:

New & unwrapped toys (for children of all ages)
Non-perishable food items (canned goods, pasta, cereal, etc.)
Holiday treats or essentials (e.g. baby items, hygiene supplies)

All donations are distributed to local families and shelters in our community.
When & Where:
This is an annual event held during the holiday season. Keep an eye on our Facebook page and website for collection dates, drop-off locations, and volunteer opportunities.
Why It Matters:
This isn’t just a food and toy drive—it’s a movement of kindness. Inspired by Chase’s unforgettable smile and giving spirit, the event reminds us that even small acts of generosity can transform lives. When you give through the Team Chase Foundation, you are passing on the legacy of someone who made every moment count—and believed in lifting others up.
Let’s get it! Let’s go!
Join us in bringing light to the lives of others—because kindness never goes out of season.

The Chase Challenge Kindness Ball
“Pass It On” – One Act of Kindness at a Time
The Chase Challenge Kindness Ball is a heart-driven initiative by the Team Chase Foundation that invites everyone—young and old—to carry forward kindness in honor of Chase Soares.
Inspired by Chase’s legacy of generosity, compassion, and unshakable kindness, the Kindness Ball travels from one person to another, encouraging random acts of kindness along the way. Each person who receives the ball is challenged to “pass it on” by performing their own act of kindness and sharing the experience with others.
How It Works:

Receive the Kindness Ball – A special basketball wrapped in the mission of kindness.
Perform a Random Act of Kindness – No gesture is too small.
Scan the QR Code – Located on the back of the ball to track its journey.
Share Your Story – Submit your act of kindness to inspire others and enter to win cool prizes!
Pass It On – Keep the momentum going by handing the ball off to someone new.

Why It Matters:
This is more than just a challenge—it’s a movement to change the world with kindness, one ball at a time. By following the path of the ball, you can watch how one simple act creates a ripple effect of compassion across communities and borders.
This initiative honors Chase Soares, a young man remembered for his limitless heart and ability to turn strangers into lifelong friends. In his memory, we keep the spirit of generosity alive by encouraging others to give, uplift, and share every day.

Team CHASE Foundation Launch Party
2022-05-15 12:00 - 15:00 | Falmouth Heights Basketball Court, MA, United States
The Team CHASE Foundation will hold a launch party on Sunday, May 15, from noon to 3 PM. Team CHASE is a nonprofit organization founded by the family of Chase Soares, who was killed in an automobile accident in 2020.
The son of Brooke and Norman DeBarros, Chase was a 2014 graduate of Falmouth High School. A varsity basketball player at FHS, his greatest passion was basketball. Chase was a role model both on and off the court to aspiring athletes, as a volunteer coach to Falmouth youth, and as a pen pal to Morse Pond School students. Chase embodied kindness, possessing an emotional intelligence beyond his years from a very young age. He was also an artist who expressed his highly evolved spiritual nature in his artwork.
Team CHASE aims to give back to the community both locally and beyond in multiple ways, such as scholarships and funding for youth athletic and educational initiatives for underserved communities.
