Mission: The foundation provides monetary grants to new york, connecticut, new jersey and tulsa area high school students who demonstrate academic achievement and a commitment to community service but lack the financial means to pursue a college education. In addition, from time to time, the foundation will provide financial assistance to other non-profits and community organizations whose primary focus is to further the educational, recreational and social development of children and families.
Programs: Provide scholarships for high school seniors' secondary education based on financial need and academic performance. Donations were made to various non profits whose mission and goals are compatible with the john l. Starks foundation.
I've been supporting various charities centered on furthering the education of young people. I gravitated to the John Starks foundation due to the founder John Starks (NBA All Star and NY Knick Legend) hands on role. He has built a solid board of directors, hosts 3 main fundraisers per year and assists college bound students with college tuition. I will continue to demonstrate my support by attending their events and encouraging others to do so as well.
