About This Cause
The Taylor Hooton Foundation (THF) was formed in memory of Taylor E. Hooton, a 17-year old high school student from Plano, TX. Taylor took his own life on July 15, 2003, after using anabolic steroids. Taylor’s parents, family and friends founded the organization after learning of the growing number of middle school, high school, and college students illegally using and abusing anabolic steroids, HGH (Human Growth Hormone), unregulated dietary supplements, and other appearance and performance enhancing substances. They discovered that this is a serious problem among young athletes and non-athletes, and learned that young people and their parents are uneducated of either the prevalence of or the real dangers of these powerful substances. Today, the THF is widely recognized as the national leader in education on the topic of Appearance and Performance Enhancing Substances use by youth in the U.S., Canada, and Latin America. To date, the THF has spoken to over two million people directly with their education programs.
