About Us

OUR MOTTO IS
"TO BUILD ATHLETES OF
TOMORROW TODAY"

Caring Coaches Foundation was organized in 2004 by Mary Swarthout to support youth at risk and to make donations to programs that would help find cures for catastrophic disease-such as cancer.  Mr. Jack Swarthout, a well known coach and athletic was diagnosed with cancer in 2001.   With the donations for the program and new cures Mr. (coach) Swarthout lived until 2005.   Since his death Mrs. Swarthout has again started with Caring Coaches Foundation to fulfill their dream of helping youth at risk through sports and education.  The large network both nationally and internationally of athletes, coaches, and educators that have been touched by Jack Swarthout,  his life has created the dynamic core of opportunity to bring services and programs to at risk youth.

Caring Coaches is still in the building mode in regard to our advisory board and further identifying funding sources to complement the donors that are currently working with the program.  Caring Coaches is reviewing opportunities to create alliances and partners to most effectively bring their program to fulfillment.

Caring Coaches Foundation intends to develop year round sports programs with enrichment opportunities that will develop well rounded ACADEMICALLY AND SOCIALLY SUCCESSFUL KIDS.  CARING COACHES FOUNDATION  plans to identify communities across the United States that have a high percentage of at risk youth, and are connected to Caring Coaches through relationships that have been developed through the years.   Caring Coaches Foundation will build on the platform of existing programs with the leaders in the community whom have proven to be agents of change in the lives of at risk youth.

Building on that platform, Caring Coaches will extend the enrichment programs over the academic and sports year.  We intend to be there for these youth as they transition from middle through high school and as they start to identify life skills they will need to become productive members of our society.  We hope to also provide skills training that will allow them to have a financially secure future.
