The Mission

 

We Believe...

Education, mentorship, and opportunity can create greatness.  Our Mission is to empower the next generation with technology and create career pathways.

 

When we started this foundation, our team had just won the World Series. I aimed to teach these gifted players to give back to their community. We were able to achieve this through the foundation, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for animal shelters, providing coats and back-to-school backpacks to inner-city children, raising money for autism, and donating 1,000,000 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables to needy families. As my career in the field ended, I wanted to be known for my efforts off the field as well. 

 

As a third-generation farmer, my personal mission became, "How do we change the way we feed the world?" Through our giving, we realized the waste and inefficient farming practices that have been passed down through generations of farmers.

We shifted our focus into two areas; education and small farm partnerhips.

Farm-i-tude is our high school farming curriculum that was created to teach the next generation how to farm with technology - drones and crop health

WakWay Celebrity Jams is our line of jams in partnership with small farms and celebrities that create their own flavors and sign their jars

Take a look at what we have created and how we are helping change he way the world farms.
