Brown’s Hometown Victory Foundation

Our Mission: We strive to collaborate with our surrounding communities to provide opportunities in
youth programs to empower children and families to reach their highest potential with
the hopes of improving social and economic barriers.

Due to the overwhelming success of the current youth programs put in place a little over 7
years ago and community’s desire to expand and grow those programs, the Brown’s
Hometown Victory Foundation became an essential step toward that growth. October of
2016 the Foundation was created, by March of 2017 we officially became a 501c3.

Our small but mighty foundation is currently serving 10 schools and over 2,300 local elementary children
with aspirations, not only from us but from the local community to continue to expand. Our
current youth programs provide opportunities for area youth to reach their highest potential
in proficiency in literacy, mathematics, social and emotional growth, and child safety.

Reading 4 A Reason Program: Encourages and inspires local youth to read every night after
all homework is done during the school year and Reading 4 A Reason – Summer Bingo: is an
extension of the reading program during the summer to aid in reducing the dreaded
“summer slide.” This program encourages children to read during the summer in fun and
inventive ways.

Key 2 Mathematics: Is a summer program that encourages elementary students to play age-
appropriate math games every day, with the hopes to diminish the summer slide and to make math fun for kids.

Get Up & Move: is a program that focuses on independent/free play, free from parents and
electronics. By continuing to put importance on “free play,” we hope to build upon the
youth’s ability to solve problems, control emotions, play with others, develop empathy, and
take control of their own lives. So they grow up to be not just successful adults but happy
ones at that.

Prizes awarded for participation for all programs.
