Since its inception, the Foundation has supported and sponsored several area Local Youth, Running Clubs, Catholic School, Brooklyn Triple Crown Road Races and Brooklyn's Triple Crown Annual Award Banquet at Gargiulo's Restuarant.  Your participation and contribution has made this all possible.

Summer track and field program for youth. Location Leon Kaiser Park Coney Island. From July to September. .Mondays and Wednesday evenings. Free of charge all you need is the will and desire and a pair of track shoes. Work outs will consist of warm up, warm down, interval training, identifying your anaerobic threshold, your training target rate and identifying your limitations and avoiding burn out. Groups will be trained according their physical fitness level and evaluation.

We have sponsored and coordinated several special events within our community. During the past several years we have been committed  on providing financial resources to  many worthy charity organizations.

In kind, we would like to thanks all of our private and corporate  sponsors. It has elevated our organization in the creation of our Third Annual Brooklyn Triple Crown in 2011 and The Runners Ball.  Our foundation underwrites the entire cost of this unique and one of a kind sort after New York City's best road races and banquet.

In addition we would continue to support and provide funds to the students at Our Lady of Grace Parochial School and Prospect Park Youth Track Club. Our Foundation will continue providing financial support to several worthy local community special event programs and Scholarship Races.  Such as The Sgt. Doreen Scrimenti Run, The P.O. Christopher Hoban Run and Kenneth Dolan Memorial 5k Run. We are proud sponsors of the Prospect Park Youth Track Club.

The foundations founder Edwin Cosme will join forces with Latino Justice in advocating  in addressing several, social employment, educational, economic and civil rights issues. In doing so we wish that opportunity and prosperity will come to all. "When power leads a man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitation. When power narrows the area of mans concern, poetry remind him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
