About The Danny Clark Foundation
The Danny Clark Foundation was founded in 2008 to act as a liaison to under-serviced youth. With the increase in crime, juvenile drug abuse, incarceration and teen pregnancy, it is our desire to provide resources to these youth and their families promoting positive life style changes. The foundation currently focuses its attention on supporting four states, New Jersey, Illinois, Texas and Mississippi.
Danny Clark not only supports the foundation financially, but he is active in his role as president of the foundation, overseeing new projects and discovering ways to support and expand the foundations current outreach. Danny’s passion on the field has only been paralleled in his desire to give back and support the communities which have supported his growth both on and off the field.
