Class Act Sports was founded by Jared Ginsberg in 2009 to allow fans a “beyond the game” and “behind the scenes” look at athletes on and off the playing field. Ginsberg, furthered the mission of the company by creating the Class Act Sports Foundation, making sports and physical education programs accessible to underprivileged kids. Victor Green, a member of the Jets’ All-Decade team, is also an integral member of the Class Act Sports Foundation and helps the organization accomplish its goals by connecting well-known athletes with the foundation.
