About the Steve Nash Foundation

About the Foundation
Formed in 2001, given U.S. charitable status in 2004, and Canadian charitable status in 2007, the Steve Nash Foundation is a private foundation dedicated to assisting underserved children in their health, personal development, education and enjoyment of life. Like its NBA MVP founder, the Foundation is fast becoming a leader in assists . . . to a slightly shorter population.

Through our own initiatives, and through grants to public service and nonprofit entities in British Columbia, the Foundation aims to grow health in kids by funding projects that provide direct services to children affected by poverty, illness, abuse, or neglect, and create opportunity for education, health, and empowerment. We love the opportunity to get involved in the good work being done by child-focused ngo's in our home province.

The Foundation also seeks to afford thoughtful solutions to community needs through our own projects to address critical health and education needs. The Foundation focuses its resources on underserved populations of children in British Columbia, Arizona, and the country of Paraguay. Equipping a neonatal intensive care ward in Asuncion to provide basic necessities for infants and their families, developing an early childhood education center of excellence to bring best practices to young kids that don't always enjoy that access in Arizona, and uniting civic outreach, corporate and social service organizations to show kids how to get involved in their communities are examples of the daily work of the Foundation's small but dedicated staff. Stemming from our first ever Steve Nash Foundation Charity Classic, held in Toronto, Ontario, in 2005, the Foundation is also working closely with the City to establish an all-access, all-kids after-school center there to build hope through hoops for kids.

While our work focuses exclusively on child welfare, we believe that corporations must share responsibility for the well-being of our communities. The Foundation employs and encourages environmentally-friendly office practices, and offers grantees assistance in developing their own recycling and energy conservation programs (check out our Green Leaf here). We also like to highlight the important work of other individuals and organizations, using our website links to increase their exposure, and contribute to their efforts. Further, we are proud to be working with young people that excel in their chosen fields, from whom we welcome energetic leadership and fresh voices.

Michael Jordan is at the same basketball game as me right now. What!? – by courtmarkowitz (Courtney Markowitz)

RT @BlazersBlog: Michael Jordan shown on the big screen, gets a big round of applause from the crowd. …. The guy torched the Blazers in the finals. – by EthanAEqualizer (Ethan )

Omg I'm in the same building with michael Jordan #amazingby CatAshenden (Cat Ashenden)

Michael Jordan Trivia!
My favorite Michael Jordan moment is when he was on the sideline and he was squatting down watching the game, I think it was a Finals game but I’m not sure though. Then some little kid comes over to him and squats down right next to him.

It must be so cool when the whole world wants to be just like you and that’s an example of that.

Answer by Alien, But I Am Not Illegal®
OFF THE COURT: Him crying when he got to the podium on his HOF induction, right before his speech. That sums up the man that he was throughout his career: tough on the outside but man enough to cry in moments of glory.

ON THE COURT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsBqievDm-w
Just pure emotion for his father… And he won the MVP triumvirate that year… Reg Season, All Star and Finals MVP…
