"Educating America's youth about the dangers of Appearance and Performance Enhancing Drugs."

"To strengthen the youth of America through the elimination of the use of all performance enhancing drugs in our nation's high schools and middle schools."

To reach that vision, we must invest in raising awareness of the widespread nature of this problem among our youth. And, we must educate our nation's youth and their adult influencers about the real dangers of anabolic steroids and other appearance and performance enhancing drugs. There are a number of facets required to address this complex problem. Our foundation is playing a role in the following areas:

• We are committed to continue to invest in this web site in order that it becomes and remains the one place on the Internet where people can come to access the most complete and accurate information available on this topic.
• Our "Hoot's Chalk Talk" program(s) is a family of educational programs that represent our effort to deliver comprehensive education programs directly to kids and their adult influencers. We have already delivered these programs to thousands of kids across the country in addition to their parents, physicians, coaches, and others. And, these programs are growing!  For example:
  
  
  • In partnership with Major League Baseball and the Professional Baseball Athletic Trainers Society (PBATS), we are delivering these programs in all 30 of the Major League Ballparks across the country this year.  We also initiated the delivery of these programs in a number of Minor League Baseball parks this year.
  • And, we are delivering similar programs in a number of large high schools in various parts of the country.
  • We are in talks with a number of other organizations with respect to combining our messages with other well-known (established) education programs.
• Vision: Our real vision is to make it possible to deliver our Hoot's Chalk Talk program in every major high school in America. We envision the time when this program (testimonial, video, collateral, follow-on educational program, etc.) can be delivered to a large number audiences of students in all corners of the country.
• We are actively working with a number professional organizations to insure that adult inflencers are aware of this problem and educated to deal with it. These groups include all types of professionals and organizations such as medical doctors, professional athletes, athletic trainers, health educators, coaches, counselors, insurers, and many others.

ATTENTION CORPORATE VISITORS to this site: we believe our Hoot's Chalk Talks program provides an excellent high-visibility opportunity for YOUR company to get involved in attacking this problem! Please consider sponsoring a speaker to join our organization to deliver these important messages to kids across the country.
