Vision
The Jim Mora Count On Me Family Foundation was created to support children in need (primarily in three target areas: from low socio-economic backgrounds, mentally and physically challenged, and children at-risk) by affording them the opportunity to realize their potential and dreams, help create more stability in their lives, support advocacy for children, and support channels that allow children to have a voice.
Mission
The Jim Mora Count On Me Family Foundation strives to lend support to charities and children’s organization through monetary grants and increased community awareness, empowering organizations to help children improve their lives by:
* building and instilling confidence
* encouraging health and wellness
* fostering learning opportunities
* using the sport of football as a springboard to talk about life and life lessons.
