Mission Statement

DG 85 Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides football and cheer camps during the summer season and workshops to equip our youth to become productive citizens for their societies. In addition, also support the Sickle Cell Foundation of Orlando throughout the year as well. With our camps, we offer more than just an on-the field experience. Our mission is to teach our children the importance of sportsmanship; which will enable them to demonstrate fair play, respect for their opponents, and polite behavior among their teammates. In addition, our football and cheer camps, as well as programs will particularly emphasize knowledge of personal injury; which will thereby prevent concussions on the field. Our mission will extend beyond the field as well. We host various workshops to educate our youth on key life skills to help them deal with real-life situations. For example, we will teach them how to build close relationships with their peers and how to maintain good grades in the classroom. We also promote staying in school, demonstrate ways on how to stay out of trouble, and encourage our children to further their education. This is where our scholarships and our giving back to the community play a vital role. It helps our children not only to stay motivated, but it also provides them with the necessary resources they need to determine what career path they are interested in, as well as a desire to give back to their communities as well. We will take things a step further by educating our children on the Sickle Cell disease in hopes of inspiring some, if not all, with a desire as well to help in the future, either with the research or funding for the research of the disease itself, which enhances our support for the Sickle Cell Foundation of Orlando. Mostly here at DG 85 Foundation Inc. we believe in giving children a voice, free expression of ideas, equality of people, and the dignity of individuality. It’s all about the children.
