"PHILOSOPHY"

WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY

Potential is equally distributed but opportunity is not.

Founded in 2008, LEMO Foundation is a Bay Area-based nonprofit that exists to close the opportunity gap for student athletes. LEMO ensures that all student athletes, regardless of income, can access the supports, resources, and experiences they need to thrive. We serve as a comprehensive all-in-one destination for students to engage in sports, education, and community programming that models and cultivates the mindsets, habits, and relationships for success. Through a supportive campus and enrichment programs, we enable student athletes to play, learn, and grow to their full potential.
