Mission Statement
The Maurice Lucas Foundation teaches kids lessons they can use to help them realize their dreams. Our academies show the importance of hard work, respect and leadership both in the classroom and on the court.
About This Cause
Our mission is teaching life lessons through sport. Throughout the year the Maurice Lucas Foundation partners with Portland-area public and private schools to host our academies—classroom and sports-based after school programs, summer camps, and educational retreats—all aimed at teaching life lessons and providing skill-building opportunities for low-income, at-risk, and special needs youth. We achieve this by combining things kids need in life—like classroom time—with things kids love—like sports—then bridging these two critical elements of a child's life with core values. We emphasize core values like respect, hard work, leadership, positivity, integrity during each day of our academies in both the classroom and on the court. The combination of the two begins to infuse positive influence in their lives.
