BACK TO SCHOOL SHOPPING SPREE
The La’Roi Glover Foundation held a Back to School Shopping Spree
for 40 deserving students on Tuesday August 19th at the Target store
in San Diego, CA .
Spring Glover led the effort to provide 40 deserving youth with lunch
and a $200 Target gift card to help with their back to school needs.
The students also received backpacks filled with school supplies to
ensure they start the school year well prepared.
“I remember growing up, we didn’t come from any money or anything
like that,” Glover said. “Whatever my mother had, she was willing to
share it with not only family members, but other folks who were less
fortunate than we were. So I think that’s sort of what started it.”
In August 1999, La’Roi Glover announced the establishment of TheLa’Roi Glover Foundation.
As a longtime resident of San Diego, six-time Pro Bowl player and
Defensive Tackle for the Rams, La’Roi Glover established the La’Roi
Glover Foundation in 1999 to provide scholarships for high school
and college students in San Diego; work with the San Diego
community to provide for individuals and families in need; and
support nonprofit organizations that assist deserving children in
achieving their educational goals. The Foundation provides two
annual scholarships to graduates of Point Loma High School, La’Roi’
s Alma Mater.
Over the next few years, the Foundation plans to increase the number
of scholarships distributed, as well as develop a mentoring program
to increase the likelihood of the students’ professional success after
their college careers. Eventually, the Foundation hopes to build an
endowment that will provide at least 16 scholarships each year (4
renewable scholarships a year) based on the students’ college
grades and performance.
La’Roi’s Foundation benefits children in the cities where he has lived
and played football. His interests range from providing scholarship
awards at the high school and University levels, to supporting
children's hospitals.
La’Roi has a history of giving back to the community. He was
nominated the Saints "Man of the Year" and "Unsung Hero“ in 1999.
