CLUB FORCE-
As more of our youth are raised without the structure of traditional
families (single Moms and Dads, living far away from loving relatives such
as Grandparents) our youth need someplace that they can turn, to gain extra
tools for positive growth. Through Club Force our youth will realize they
possess the tools for success inside them regardless of their outside
situations. They can finish with the thought and confidence that can
control their own destiny.
Club Force is a 5- week character-building program making you responsible for
task relating to respect and commitment. The completion of these tasks
demonstrates your focus on a positive self and a positive future.
Through the creation of a special club, Club Force, we are able to reach out
the public and spread the message and meaning of
F.O.R.C.E.-Focus-On-Respect-Commitment-Excellence. This is the philosophy
Gail Personally lives her life by.
FAST TRACK -
Ever since three times Gold Olympic Medallist, Gail Devers, was honored with
having the Sweetwater High School football / track field named after her, she
has always promised to make a difference. Her foundation has embarked on
several projects including; Club Force with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's
Department, Annual Walk for Health (Atlanta) and scholarship awards for
graduating high school seniors nationwide. This year, the Foundation is
engaged in upgrading the track and field to a polyurethane surface and
replacing the grass with a synthetic turf. This project has sparked the
interest of many Sweetwater alumni, as well as community members. Gail feels
very strongly about giving back to a community that is so receptive. The
philosophy of "if you build it, they will come", will be realized. In an
impoverished area, we will empower the people of the community to control
their own destiny by giving the means to create revolving community revenue
and community pride, which will put them on the map forever.
The Gail Devers Foundation is looking to make a huge difference in the lives
of as many as possible. We are starting at home, but the possibilities are
infinite. We are trusting that you will join us in these great endeavors.
