In 2001, former NFL player and 3x Superbowl Champion, Matt Light, and his wife Susie, established The Light Foundation to help young people develop the skills, values, and mindset they need to create a meaningful and productive future.
Their mission is to take young people out of their everyday environments and provide them with unique opportunities that ignite their passion, purpose, and motivation to succeed. Their core values:
Accountability: We hold ourselves to the highest standards of leadership. Our mission is at the forefront of everything we do.
Hard Work: We believe through hard work and achievement, self–confidence is built. This is one of the best defenses a child can have against negative influences.
Collaboration: We partner with schools, community and business leaders, and other organizations to maximize our impact and create meaningful programs for kids.
Nature: The power of the outdoors is indescribable. We use the outdoors to inspire young people to broaden their horizons and see greater potential in their lives.
Faith & Service: We instill confidence, positive beliefs, and attitudes in young people, so they are better equipped to face life’s challenges and serve others.
Youth: We embody high expectations of, and respect for, the young people we serve. We make organizational decisions based on what is best for them.
