Year after year it pained former Widener University student-athlete, Tracy A. Jones, to see both his peers and aspiring athletes overachieve in athletics, only to underachieve in life. Many due to a lack of quality academic preparation or poor character development. Passionate about creating change in the community through sports, Tracy would launch the T. Alexander Foundation in 2016. With limited athletic opportunities available for student-athletes after high school, the organization partners with youth-serving organizations and educational institutions to conduct conversations, periodic workshops, and academies that are designed to educate, inspire and equip student-athletes with the skills needed to discover their respective intersection of passion, talent, and purpose. As an emerging social enterprise, the T. Alexander Foundation courageously merges athletics, academics and character development to facilitate the advancement of dynamic individuals and their communities.
