Mark Maddox – Founder
Mark is a currently the Founder and Executive Director of He1p Foundation.
I’m a father of a handful of wonderful children and former NFL athlete of 10 years. I have been involved with charities since 1989. I have been a part of businesses and organizations that have worked primarily with children and families.
The reasoning for starting He1p Foundation was to provide a viable source for families to afford their children the opportunities to enhance a skill, hobby, or passion in their life. Our goal is to work with children no matter what hindrances there may be.
He1p Foundation hopes to become a viable source and resource network to help families find services that will enhance their children in the pursuit of their endeavors.
