HEALTH & WELLNESS

 

One of the foundation message is that health is wealth.  Without the existence of being healthy, the other life accomplishments become less meaningful.  We shall spread the message of the importance of being within a complete physical, mental, and social well-being healthy state. 

 

The Maleka C Stephens Foundation shall support team sports programs and promote the benefits of participating in team sports.  Team sports contributes to the physical attributes of being healthy.  More importantly, by educating and empowering through sports, by teaching the life skills embedded into sports, it contributes to fostering self-confidence and self-esteem for life.  The foundation shall assist with securing funds for underfunded sports programs such as youth, high school, and Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCU) programs.

 

Additionally, the foundation shall aim to help our constituents with understanding the importance of preventive healthcare.  The foundation will work with independent health professionals, groups, and organizations to promote health & wellness throughout underserved communities as well as provide financial stipends to ailing recipients to assist with medical expenses. 

 

 

Our programs shall include topics such as:

 

Introduction to Team Sports

Preventive Healthcare
