REACH 4 THE SKY FOUNDATION IS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION CREATED IN JANUARY 2004, BY KEITH RUCKER, A FORMER NFL FOOTBALL PLAYER WHO CURRENTLY TEACHES AND COACHES HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS IN OHIO. KEITH’S VISION IN CREATING THE FOUNDATION IS TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF LESS FORTUNATE CHILDREN BY STRENGTHENING THEIR CHARACTER THROUGH ATHLETICS.

THE FOUNDATION SERVES LOW-INCOME YOUTH FROM THE INNER CITY TO AFFORD THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS AS YOUTH FROM MIDDLE- AND HIGH-INCOME FAMILIES.

THE FOUNDATION CONSISTS OF SEVEN BOARD MEMBERS, ALL OF WHOM VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME TO SERVE THE YOUTH IN OUR COMMUNITY. THEIR GOAL IS TO ENSURE THAT THESE YOUNGSTERS WHO PARTICIPATE IN OUR CAMPS AND ACTIVITIES ARE POSITIVE, PRODUCTIVE MEMBERS IN SOCIETY.
