WHATEVER IT
TAKES

Every foster child deserves
to be in the game.

Sports taught you teamwork, responsibility, and what it feels like to work toward something. Foster children here in Nashville deserve those same lessons — but the government doesn't pay for it. We raise money to change that, one child at a time.

How it works

We know exactly which child your money is going to.

This isn't a general fund. Families and agencies apply so we know the child's name, the sport, and what it costs. Your donation goes to a specific child with a specific goal — right here in Nashville.

Funds raised go directly toward placing a child in an extracurricular — registration, equipment, and uniforms covered.

We work with Nashville foster families, caseworkers, and agencies. When you donate, you're not guessing where it goes — we can tell you the child's name, the sport, and exactly what your support made possible.

1
Families apply
Foster families or agencies submit an application — child's name, the activity they want, and the costs involved.
2
We review and confirm
We work through every application so donors always know where their money is going and which child it serves.
3
Donors fund it
Your donation is applied directly to a confirmed child's activity. No middleman, no mystery.
4
Child gets in the game
Registration paid. Gear in hand. Practice starts Tuesday. That's the whole point.

"I built FORM Wellness on the belief that what we do every day should mean something beyond ourselves. Whatever It Takes is that something. Every foster child deserves the chance to be part of a team, to have a coach who shows up, to know what it feels like to work toward something and get there. Sports gave me that. I want every child in Nashville to have it too."

— Brooke, Founder · FORM Wellness & Whatever It Takes
Founding supporter

Built by someone who believes business should mean something.

FORM Wellness is Nashville's home for ozone sauna, cold plunge, IV therapy, and clinical wellness — on 12 South. From day one it's been built on a simple belief: that showing up for yourself and showing up for your community aren't separate things.

Whatever It Takes is how FORM Wellness lives that out. FORM members receive a wearable payment band included with their membership or package — and a portion of sales from every FORM band goes directly to Whatever It Takes.

Nashville's wellness studio on 12 South.
