Review for Forever Young Foundation, Mesa, AZ, USA
I volunteer at the Plummer Home for Boys in Salem, MA. It is a home for abused and abandoned boys aged 14-22. They had a very run down basketball court in back of the home but it was the focal point for the boys. I contacted Forever Young to help with some funding to get them a new court. Sterling Tanner, President of the Foundation, flew out from AZ to meet with the administration and look at the property. He called me to let me know they would build a sports court for the boys and a few months later the project was complete. Michelle Knox, Director of PR and marketing from the foundation, flew in from AZ for the grand opening and coordinated having some of the Boston Celtics come up and play a game with the boys. It was an absolutely amazing day for those boys and is still their favorite part of living at the Plummer Home. Basketballs can be heard bouncing on the court into the late hours of the night. It's an incredible gift and the Forever Young Foundation made it all possible. From the moment of Sterling's visit to the completion of the project, there was not a minute of stress or aggrivation. They handled everything with such grace and humility. I can't thank them enough for their generosity.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
My exchange with them for the Plummer Home boys which continues on today with extra help in every day essentials for the boys which are not provided by the state. I've also had the opportunity to witness their good works in Africa.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
no changes necessary....would like more people to send funding to them so they can spread more of their good works
