ABOUT THE FOUNDATION
The Eric Matthews Foundation was organized for the purpose of serving our youth through
sports. Eric Matthews Foundation mentoring program is about developing trust, building
relationships, increased learning and exposing the children to opportunities that they might
not otherwise be afforded. Aspects of each of these factors can be found and are present in
everything that we do whether it’s exposure to influential people, field trips, sports activities,
the importance of education and “ down to earth” honest advice. Mentoring actually affects
each individual person can be different; however the impact can be far reaching and the
benefits can span a life time. We believe this will build a community to help create a safer and
more nurturing and supportive environment. Our community outreach services are dedicated
to putting this mission into action by providing a full range of charitable, human service, and
community development activities.
