About Us

The Winged Foot Foundation is a non-profit 501 C 3 charitable organization

that has been created exclusively for charitable purposes. The goal of the

Winged Foot Foundation is to assist student athletes in the Chicago area by

offering athletic equipment and academic programs to help strengthen the

educational & sports activities in their communities.

Providing motivational speaking by mentors, hosting family appreciation

events, donating sports equipment, organizing sports events and assisting with

the process for promoting higher education are the primary functions of the

Winged Foot Foundation.

We believe the lessons learned in the classroom and in athletic competition are

beneficial in the development of young people.

In the Winged Foot Foundation logo, the winged foot represents the sport of track

& field, the triangle represents pillars of strength: Faith, Family and Friends.
