Our
mission is to build the self-esteem of at-risk
youth between the ages of ….in the South Bronx
by identifying, tapping and nurturing their
innate wealth of abilities and talent.
We
help them embrace President-elect Barack Obama’s
“Yes, We Can” premise by providing emotional,
academic, social support systems to enable them
to build positive life skills as a bridge to
their dreams.
We
involve positive role models in our programs and
activities for inspiration and to underscore the
“Yes, We Can” philosophy.
We
embrace the cultural, racial, religious and
linguistic diversity of our neighborhood. It
provides all of us with the opportunity to learn
from each other, become tolerant of our
differences and open to new ideas.
We
operate in a safe and caring environment: a
home away from home.
Our
community outreach is integrated into our
programs, special events and financial support.
Over
our almost 40 year history, we have built
relationships and trust with our supporters as
well as the families of the South Bronx.
They
say,“It
takes a village to raise a child".
The Sports Foundation is that village. Come join
us in tapping into the wealth of the South
Bronx: our youth. Become a member…today!!!
