Founded in 1999 by Olympic Gold Medalist Gail Devers, the Foundation is based on giving back to the community through access and opportunity for education, community development, health awareness and athletics. The Gail Devers Foundation also provides Thanksgiving food baskets and Christmas Dinners for needy families, funds college scholarships and is a partner in youth golf clinics.The Foundation is also working hand in hand with the Los Angeles Sheriffs Department on various charitable events.

On Saturday morning, February 26, 2005, many participants and volunteers will meet in the Center Court of The Mall of Georgia to show support for Youth Wellness and Health. The registration fee is $10 for Adults and $5 for Seniors (55+) and Children (5-12). Registrants turning in collected pledges of $25 or more will receive a T-shirt and are eligible to win prizes.

After the completion of the Walk prizes will be presented to the persons who collected the most pledges.

Success isn't defined by who has the most or owns the most - being successful means being all you can be. The Gail Devers Foundation will be a solid foundation and positive force that serves communities. The Gail Devers Foundation, Inc. strives to drive minds to dream and teach people the meaning of force -Focus-On-Respect, Commitment and Excellence. We believe access and opportunity distinguishes people-not race, creed or color. We provide people with access and opportunity for education, community development, health awareness and athletics. While you don't have to aspire to be an Olympian, athletics teaches such aspects as goal setting, teamwork, dedication and a never-give-up attitude. These skills are critical for succeeding in the world today.
