ludus Pursuit

A youth led nonprofit equipping under-resourced kids with the tools needed to pursue their passion for sports

About Ludus Pursuit

Ludus Pursuit is a 501(c)3 nonprofit based in San Diego, CA. It was co-founded by brothers Gavin Mestler and Logan Mestler in 2020.

When Gavin, aged ten, and Logan, aged eight, traveled on a family surf trip to Fiji, they encountered a heartwarming scene that would change their lives. Seven Fijian boys were kicking around a makeshift ball crafted from rags, socks, and bits of cloth. Gavin, recalling the rugby ball they had brought from home, decided to share it with the Fijian kids. The moment the ball touched their hands, the boys’ eyes lit up with excitement. A week later, when Gavin and Logan returned to the same location, they were greeted by twice as many children playing an enthusiastic game of rugby. Inspired by this transformative experience, Gavin and Logan founded a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to providing sports equipment and opportunities to under-resourced kids, empowering them to pursue their passion for sports.
