Thank You for Your Support of the Maurice Lucas Foundation
Thank you for your support of the Maurice Lucas Foundation at our 6th Annual Celebration Dinner. We had more than 650 people in attendance and together we raised over $400,000 to allow the foundation to continue to create opportunities for under served middle school kids by providing a combination of education and activity-based after-school programs.
The foundation stands as a continuance of Maurice’s dedication to empower Portland’s youth with opportunities for positive developmental growth through sport. Maurice cared immensely for the Portland community. He was devoted to helping kids learn, achieve, and grow through sport, helping them build positive values. The Maurice Lucas Foundation is proud to carry on Maurice’s work.
As we continue working beside these youth to accomplish as much as we can, we are always excited to share news of our progress with you. We invite you to visit our website at www.ml20.org or Facebook page to learn of our updates.

About the Maurice Lucas Foundation
The Foundation is named in honor of the late Maurice Lucas (1952-2010), the leading scorer on the 1977 NBA champion Trail Blazers team. Besides his outstanding achievements on the court, Lucas also selflessly gave his time and energy to Portland youth. Since its formation in 2010, the Maurice Lucas Foundation has served thousands of students and families through its Academy program, basketball camps and teams.
