About Us
Our foundation was created to help those less fortunate in every way possible. It is our goal to help orphans, AIDS victims, the poor, children with cancer, the homeless, etc. We realize that we are not here to be served, but to serve. We also want to demonstrate to others that they too CAN and MUST do their part to make a difference in this world. As a collective whole, we CAN make a difference, one person, one life at a time.

Our Programs
Hope 4 Africa-
We are in the process of raising the funds to build an orphanage in Holeta, Ethiopia. There are currently over 2,500 orphan children in this small village and there is a great need to provide these children with food, shelter, a place to sleep, and education, and a home.
We are currently drawing up the blueprints for building a school in Duk Payuol Sudan. This village was destroyed in the war over 20 years ago and has yet to be rebuilt. There is currently no school for the children in the entire region. It is our aim to provide a place for them to receive an education and give them a hope for a brighter future for both them and their community.
M.A.R.K 10:14-Mentoring at Risk Kids
In todays society our youth are facing uparalleled challenges and temptations as their exposure to a rapidly declining moral society is pulling them in many different directions. Because of this, we feel that all of our youth are at risk.
Through our Mark 10:14 programs, we aim to provide our youth with the necessary tools and guidance needed to stand strong in spite of the temptations they are facing and to grow into Men & Women of character and integrity. Men & Women who will choose to be resolved and who will not compromise their beliefs. Men & Women who will become productive in meeting the needs of others in both their community and their world. Men & Women who will emerge to be the future leaders of their generation
Christmas Outreach-
This project was designed to help meet the needs of families during the Holiday Season. While Christmas time can be a wonderful time spent with family and friends, it can also be a time of tremendous stress, financial pressure and undo burden on families that are struggling to get by. Through our Christmas Outreach program, we help those less fortunate by providing food, clothing, and gifts for every member of the family as well as sharing with them the spirit of giving during Christmas season.
Upcoming Events
JD's Touchdown club where we are looking for donors to donate a minimum of 1 dollar per touchdown for the entire 2008 season. The proceeds will go directly to our Hope 4 Africa Project
