Home of Champions is a 501c3 non-profit organization with a mission to provide a “home base” for New York City and New York state youth ages 16-24 who are emerging from the foster care system. We aim to provide opportunities, resources, and mentoring, as well as help foster youth to live an active, consistent, and sustained lifestyle, allowing foster youth to develop the attitude necessary to become the responsible leaders, change makers and entrepreneurs of tomorrow.
To do this, we need to make improvements to our facility in New Paltz, New York.
Located in the former home of and training facility of heavyweight boxing world
champion Floyd Patterson, it also served as a training camp for two undisputed world heavy weight champions – Muhammad Ali and Ingemar Johansson.
The goal is to convert the boxing and training facility into the Home of Champions Community Center, which will house leadership, holistic health, and creative arts
seminars. This renovation will come at a sizable cost, so we’re looking for support from local businesses, leaders, and celebrities to help fund the project. Your tax-deductible donation will go directly to costs associated with converting the space into the foundation of a better tomorrow for these youth.
Support home of champions
From volunteer opportunities and event support to donations and celebrity endorsements, Home of Champions is looking for committed individuals to make an impact on the future of foster youth. Your donations and support are vital to the success of our efforts. Together, we can provide a bright and promising future for at-rist foster youth.
