The Best You Can Be 501C3 Foundation is dedicated to supporting parents and teachers to inspire children to reach their highest potential. Through teacher in-service training, parenting resources, children's daily motivational programming and curriculum development, our goal is to create system where every child can find peace within themselves, develop meaningful relationships, contribute to the greater good in their community, work through stress, and be motivated to reach their highest potential. 

This year we intend to bring this program to 36 inner city schools with a total student base of 20,000 kids and 1,000 teachers.  Because many of the schools being serviced are in neediest areas, we need the financial support of sponsors to implement this program and gift the teachers, parents and students with motivational curriculum, workbooks and stress reduction CD’s.
