The Joseph Toles Foundation South: Extending a Vision of Support and Opportunity
The Joseph Toles Foundation South represents the expansion of a vision that was initially ignited in 2005 in New York. Native New Yorker Joseph Toles, along with his family, found a new home in Auburn, Alabama, where he had once been a dedicated student-athlete, competing in Division One track and field. This relocation brought the vision of the Joseph Toles Foundation to the South, with a commitment to continue their work and make a positive impact on the Auburn community. Foundation Mission: The Joseph Toles Foundation® is dedicated to empowering and enriching the lives of children from all walks of life. The mission is achieved through a variety of programs, including leadership and social skills development workshops, retreats, and camping experiences. These opportunities provide children with valuable life skills, personal growth, and unforgettable memories.
President & Founder
One of the foundation's key initiatives is to raise funds to support high school seniors on their educational journey. Graduating seniors who need financial assistance and encouragement are offered the opportunity to pursue higher education. The foundation believes in investing in the future and enabling these young individuals to reach their full potential.
The Joseph Toles Foundation also provides vital financial support for kids' camps, sports programs, and educational initiatives. By doing so, they help children access enriching experiences, develop new skills, and build lasting friendships.
The foundation further extends its reach by hosting a heartwarming holiday party for children in foster care and their dedicated caregivers. The event brings together the community to celebrate the season of giving, sharing, and unity, making sure that children in foster care feel cherished and supported.
As the Joseph Toles Foundation South sets its roots in the Auburn area, it is committed to working closely with the local community to identify and address the specific needs of the area. The foundation's programs and initiatives will be tailored to the unique requirements and aspirations of the Auburn community, ensuring a positive and lasting impact.
The Joseph Toles Foundation South is more than an organization; it is a beacon of hope, empowerment, and support for children and families in the Auburn area. With a history of success and a strong vision for the future, this foundation continues to make a difference by providing opportunities, encouragement, and the assurance that dreams are within reach.
The mission of The Joseph Toles Foundation is to provide, locate, refer, and subsidize social skills development seminars, workshops, retreats and camping experiences to children, parents, guardians, and professionals who work towards the development of individuals and families.
