Message from our Chairman
Thank you for visiting the enhanced Magic Johnson Foundation web site!
Over the past few years, the Magic Johnson Foundation has awarded more than $1.1 million to community-based organizations that focus on HIV/AIDS education and prevention, supported more than 800 minority high school students with college scholarships (through the Taylor Michaels Scholarship Program), opened 18 Magic Johnson Community Empowerment Centers located in underserved communities across the country, and provided a range of community-based initiatives including an annual Children’s Mardi Gras and holiday toy drive.
Despite these remarkable successes, there are still too many people not receiving adequate treatment and care for HIV/AIDS, there are still too many young people who can’t afford a quality education, and there are still too many children in need.
That’s why together, we need to do more and that’s why we are hoping you will lend support to the Magic Johnson Foundation by getting involved with one of our community empowerment centers, by sponsoring one of our important programs like our annual leadership conference, by asking your employer to match a donation, or by just simply making a point to know your HIV status.
The point is, we need you to join our team! Sign up for our monthly e-newsletter, learn more about our programs and services, and be sure to visit the site regularly for updates on news and events.
Together, we can continue to make our communities a better place in which to live and together, we can continue to develop programs and support community-based organizations that address the educational, health and social needs of ethnically diverse, urban communities.
