| The Throwing & Growing Foundation |
Our Mission
The purpose of this 501(c) 3 organization is to offer mentoring and physical training to young women, ages 10-18, throughout the St. Louis metropolitan area. The organization provides comprehensive programming as an effective platform on which to assist participants in building broad-based physical and character development plans. The organization combines mentoring, physical training, education and nutrition information in an effort to encourage a balanced life through participating in the throwing sports: shot put, discus, javelin, and hammer throw. Professional athletes, coaches, and tutors work with young women through all facets of the program to help them create healthy, successful and positive lifestyles. Through specific training and mentoring programs, the organization’s leaders model self-respect, responsibility, leadership and sportsmanship.
