Mission – Building Bridges for Future Generations
About Us
The Texas Black Legacy Foundation (TBLF) emerged from a series of collaborative conversations in the fall of 2022. TBLF’s mission is to empower deserving students from underserved communities with need-based scholarships tailored for those dedicated to sports-related studies or careers. Beyond need-based scholarships, TBLF provides holistic wrap-around support services through Community Partners, including wellness initiatives, job training, and financial literacy programs. Forging partnerships with Texas businesses and organizations opens doors to valuable internships, ensuring that these students have an opportunity to explore and thrive in competitive careers related to the world of sports.
