About YFT

Founder's Statement

The key to a well-led life lies in the extent to which we help others.

It is our enduring legacy.

Twenty-five years ago, we had a vision for a residential campus to help the at-risk adolescents of the Greater Washington area.  The need was great then.  It has only grown.

That vision became Youth For Tomorrow.

Now, some 900 children later, we remain aggressively focused on the original goal to help at risk adolescents become responsible members of society.  Each boy or girl that we help begins an echo of positive results reverberates throughout their communities and ours.

We have been fortunate.  I am proud of my Super Bowl victories and NASCAR championships.  Certainly you feel the same way about your own successes.  I do know, however, that the only legacy that really matters will be the kind of positive influence that we can create on these children through Youth For Tomorrow.

Founder and Chairman
