Athletes Who Care Inc
The organization seeks to utilize the prestige of the athletes who participate in its programs for the purpose of drawing attention and support for those organizations recognized under 501(c)(3) which could benefit from the publicity associated with the involvement of the athletes. The involvement of these athletes can not only garner potential volunteerism and monetary support from adults, but also benefit local children. The athletes are often regarded as heroes and role models by children, including those who live in the underprivileged areas of syracuse. By availing the local schools and 501(c)(3) recognized community organizations of the involvement of these athletes, these students can be motivated in a manner that can have a lasting positive influence on their lives.
