The Eric Thomas Foundation, a 501(c) (3) non-profit charitable organization, was organized to improve the health and fitness of Texas youths. Growing up in the small town of Garrison, Texas, Eric Thomas understood the necessity of providing support to young athletes and underprivileged youths in underserved communities. As such, we are focused on providing support to youth and families in Texas.

The Eric Thomas Foundation seeks to:

• Educate children and families on the importance of proper nutrition and healthy eating habits;
• Assist high school athletes and/or students who would otherwise be unable to acquire financial assistance and support;
• Host sports skills camps and physical fitness programs that benefit participants and families;
• And build relationships between young athletes and other professionals that can assist in furthering their careers.

Each year, the Eric Thomas Scholarship is awarded to deserving high school seniors who plan on attending a 2 or 4-year University. Students must be a resident of Garrison or a small town in Texas. And, each applicant is to submit a 500-word essay explaining why they should receive The Eric Thomas Scholarship.
