About Us
The Trace Foundation was created upon the seeds of friendships that have been sown, watered, and nurtured since childhood. Young boys grew up attending school, playing sports, and participating in extracurricular activities together. Beating the odds, they maintained their connection through high school, past college, and into adulthood. Today, they are all married, with strong women and children around them, and they continuously edify their connection through regular gatherings and activities throughout the year.
​
Building upon the bond these childhood friend share and its foundation in the parents, teachers, coaches, and communities that gave them so much, these friends created a 501(c)(3) called the Trace Foundation; an organization that seeks to develop youth in socioeconomically challenged environments with tools and resources that enable their sustainable growth.
