Supna K. Patel

Supna is eager to join the Aspire Foundation Board to help further a cause that has been integral to her life’s mission – to help change the trajectory of the lives of under-served children, a mission first inspired by visiting and volunteering at orphanages in India as a ten-year-old. 

Recognizing her own son’s empathy for kids who did not have the same access to sports that he did, in 2014 Supna helped her then 5th-grade son create Alley-Oop Kids, an award-winning non-profit that provides kids access to resources such as training, gear, and experiences through sports, where she is currently a board member. 

Supna is also an active volunteer with CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) where children in the foster care and juvenile systems are paired with volunteers who provide one-on-one support, mentoring, and advocacy in the courtroom and beyond.
