Our Mission

At the James Farrior Foundation, we live by the phrase "Tackling everyday life".

The Foundation's goal is to empower individuals within the communities we serve. With a special focus on youth, we offer a variety of enrichment programs including academic scholarships, mentoring, sports camps and much, much more.

We provide direct assistance to help others overcome adversity and the obstacles of everyday life. We believe that with the right encouragement and support, everyone can become a Champion!

MDA Goodwill Ambassador, Rebecca Denius, meeting Pittsburgh Steeler James Farrior at Lowes in Richmond, VA

Rebecca is a die-hard Steelers fan and this meet-and-greet was made possible by MDA's friends at Lowe's - Joe Hancock of District 899, Carlton Stevens of Store 676 and Tia Baehr of Store 687. As you can see from the photos, she was in shock during most of the time she spent with James! It was an incredible experience for Rebecca and her family!
