Mission
To build core values in youth and connect them to opportunities that will enrich their lives.
The LIGHT Foundation was founded in 2016 by the Cockerham family and close friends with the shared mission to generate leadership and development opportunities for today’s youth. Building upon our involvement in several youth-focused organizations for several decades, we created The LIGHT Foundation with the unique purpose of collaborating with other non-profit entities with like-minded missions as well as producing programs and advantages for youth.
