At the gala, Shauncey Mashia and other representatives of Nike’s Jordan brand announced their company has chosen the foundation as the 25th nonprofit Jordan Wings partner. The company will provide full ride, four-year, post-high school scholarships and Jordan brand products to eligible youths in the foundation’s academy program.

About the Foundation

The foundation is named in honor of Maurice Lucas (1952-2010), the starting forward on the 1977 NBA champion Portland Trail Blazers team. Besides his outstanding achievements on the court, Lucas also gave selflessly of his time and energy to Portland youth. The Maurice Lucas Foundation focuses on middle school kids in the Portland metro area. The foundation teaches life lessons through sport. After school programs, sports camps and outings change the lives of the youths who participate. Since its formation, 436 students have successfully completed the foundation’s academies and hundreds of others have participated in its sports programs.

The Maurice Lucas Foundation has taught me the seven pillars, the 3 D’s (Discipline + Diligence + Determination = Hard Work) and the equation for being a leader. They have taught me to make good decisions for myself and that my education is the most important thing and that no one can take it away from me. To the foundation I want to say thank you for making the path broad for success and narrow for destruction.
