About the Foundation

The Jordan Farmar Foundation aims to improve the lives of children through efforts that promote health, hope and healing -- supporting programs that help youth develop positive mental attitudes and physical habits--so they can live healthy, fulfilled lives.

The Foundation's areas of focus have significant, personal relevance to the organization’s founder, New Jersey Nets' Jordan Farmar. As a native to Los Angeles and a former Los Angeles Laker and UCLA Bruin, Jordan takes an active role in the Foundation's initiatives by dedicating his time and resources to his passion for helping children in the greater Los Angeles area.

Jordan and the Foundation are currently engaged in the following projects:

• Funding the development  of a 'green room' at the UCLA Mattel Children's Hospital to provide kids with a fun, yet educational environment during their hospital stay 
   
• Supporting the 'Making Dreams Come True' Project, providing acutely ill children with the once-in-a-lifetime experience of spending time with their heroes. 
   
• Providing basketball clinics for young athletes that build character, tolerance, teamwork, and help them discover the connection between mind, body, and spirit through the universal language of basketball.
