The Jerry Manuel Foundation is currently a magnet program training urban youth into leaders on and off the baseball field. The baseball team and mentoring of these young men survives solely on donations.
JMF’s magnet program has partnered with Alpha Middle School in Elverta,
CA emphasizing that greatness starts within. In the classroom, youth
learn about our great legends and beyond. JMF’s Homeroom weaves the
school curriculum, Jackie Robinson’s Nine values to live by, and
practical baseball applications in order to develop our youth. As each
player takes the field to hone their skills, the uniform he must wear is
Jackie’s Nine: Courage, Determination, Teamwork, Persistence,
Integrity, Citizenship, Justice, Commitment, and Excellence.
We are trying to build these young men a dugout and need to raise awareness of our campaign so any support or donation is greatly appreciated!!! Thanks for your time in this!!!
