About Us
The Al Denson Foundation, Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization established in 2003 and located in
Jacksonville, FL. The foundation purpose is to empower the lives of young men and women through education and athletics.
The mission of the Al Denson Foundation, Inc is to give back to student athletes by providing academic scholarships, financial support to underserved community schools' programs and initiatives. These program and initiatives will address the importance of physical and mental health of students in the community who are dealing with economic disparities within Duval County and surrounding areas.
We believe in the importance of promoting student leaders and aiding them in building a strong
educational framework, to achieving academic and career success upon graduation. With this in mind,
we want to bring additional joy and excitement to the lives of student athletes who plan on continuing their post- secondary educational goals.
WHY WE DO THIS
Although access to a higher education, trade school, or certificate program is a fundamental need to
survive in this society, financial support is not relevantly available for some students. In fact, students
are working extra jobs to stay in college or pursue their post-secondary goals. For this reason, we are
seeking your support to award student athletes with scholarship dollars.
These scholarships will assist high school students with additional financial support to begin and/or continue their post-secondary journey. In some cases, these scholarships will support and may prevent an unforeseen expense that may pose a roadblock toward their education.
OUR GOAL
Our chief aim is to provide as many scholarships as possible to student athletes that have been
accepted into historically black colleges and universities or a post-secondary certificate program. In addition, the foundation seeks to support underserved community schools' programs and initiatives by bringing awareness to physical and mental health and make an impact towards economic disparities.
