About Tiger Jam and the Tiger Woods Foundation
Since its creation in 1998, Tiger Jam has raised more than $10 million for
the Tiger Woods Foundation and select Las Vegas-based charities through
its sold-out performances and one-of-a-kind auction items. Tiger Jam was
created by the Tiger Woods Foundation, an organization dedicated to
empowering young people to reach their maximum potential. Proceeds from
previous Tiger Jams have supported Child Haven, Center for Independent
Living, Greater Las Vegas Inner City Games, Boys & Girls Club of Las
Vegas, GRAMMY in the Schools and The VH1 Save the Music Foundation.
Since its inception in 1996 by Tiger Woods and his father Earl, the Tiger
Woods Foundation has reached an estimated 10 million young people through
character development, career exploration, scholarships and grant making
programs. Programs developed and supported by the Tiger Woods Foundation
all share a similar mission of empowering young people to dream big and to
set specific goals to achieve their dreams.
Specific programs of the Foundation include the Tiger Woods Learning
Center, a youth-education facility and curriculum based in Anaheim, Calif.
that soon will expand to Washington, D.C., and a nationwide character
development program based on Earl D. Woods' book entitled Start Something.
The Tiger Woods Foundation recently launched the Fist Pump Challenge, an
online program allowing young people to post videos of celebrating a
personal goal or achievement. Launched in late January, the Fist Pump
Challenge is designed to serve as a springboard to success and also will
provide an opportunity for students to vie for an Earl Woods Scholarship
to college. More information on the Tiger Woods Foundation and its
programs can be found at www.tigerwoodsfoundation.org.
