The Los Angeles D-Fenders presented the February Heroes Among Us award to The T.Y.M.E. Foundation. Assistant Coach Chucky Brown presented the award to The T.Y.M.E. Foundation’s President Sean Rector and Vice President Dohn Norwood at halftime of the D-Fenders game on February 15. The T.Y.M.E. Foundation is an organization based on the principle of “Teaching Young Men Excellence.” “Boys to Men” is The T.Y.M.E. Foundations’ youth outreach program centered at LAUSD’s John Muir Middle School that serves the metro Los Angeles area. The enrichment program was founded on three principles: scholastic achievement through tutoring; character building through extra-curricular activities and events; and personal development through counseling, leadership seminars, and community service.

Since 2003, the “Boys to Men” enrichment program has assisted 400 young men from the inner cities of Los Angeles to develop good judgment, self-esteem, integrity, and self-sufficiency. The T.Y.M.E. Foundation is truly representative of a Heroes Among Us organization.
