The Cuskey Foundation 4 the Kids, Inc. holds camps for sick, poor, and disadvantaged youths. Our camps consist of VIP guest speakers and learning workshops. And our camps offer arts, crafts, and fun athletic activities at no cost to the youths.

Our Mission

Our mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of children through "funtastic" youth camps. These camps will be run by a caring staff of adults, whose primary goal is to supervise the children and assist them in fun, safe exercise and enjoyable sports related activities. Our objective is to bring about positive feelings of joy and acceptance through teamwork, which hopefully the children will carry on with themselves as they grow into successful, productive, confident, competent and caring members of society.

About TCF4TK

tcf4tk has three main objectives!

1. We hold free four hour camps that support sick, poor and disadvantaged children, ages 4 to 12.
2. We donate a portion of the proceeds from our fundraising to local established hospitals and pediatric centers.
3. We establish a memorial scholarship at every school, business, church, group or organization that helps us by having a fund raiser or partners with us in holding a mutually beneficial fundraiser. 

Funtastic learning workshops - these learning exercises are designed to incorporate basic learning skills
With fun aspects of youngsters lives today, hopefully resulting in improved learning, reading, writing, spelling and comprehension. Remember that one teacher you had that made you feel like their class and the style that they taught you inspired and motivated you to learn? That's what we're trying to duplicate here!

Arts & crafts- personally my favorite. Why is it that some of the more important & beautiful aspects of our society today are always the areas that have their funding diminished or taken away completely? In my mind, the Greeks and Romans had it right- they believed that theatre, comedy, painting, sculpture, singing, dancing and poetry were and are today some of the more beautiful and necessary parts of our lives; and without them life would be boring and uneventful! We feel that by incorporating some of these arts and crafts in our program, it will inspire our camp attendees to use this half of their brains, which is just as vital and important as using the other part.

Safe athletic activities- aside from our national health, diet, exercise and nutritional epidemic that estimates that 20-30% of all Americans are either overweight or obese, we see the importance of breaking up the listening and learning aspects of the camps by having the children at the camps get up, start moving and getting their blood flowing! We also see the merit in having children learn the value of teamwork and getting along with their peers, classmates, neighbors, teammates and friends. This is done in a fun way!

V.I.P. guest speakers - this is the most important aspect of the camp in my mind! In addition to some of the "pillars" in our society today ie: youth minister, policeman, fireman, paramedic, judge, medical doctor, nutritionist, exercise specialist, truancy officer, undercover store detective, drug & alcohol counselor and a few more, we feel it's of the utmost importance to plant seeds in children. Hopefully, by reiterating what our camp attendees have already been taught in life by their parents, family, teachers and religious leaders, these children will grow into healthy, happy, productive and successful members of society.

Lastly, we hope to accomplish a win/win situation in every place where we hold our camps.
The first win is to help and support sick, poor and disadvantaged children by teaching and building on morals and values that have already been instilled in them!
The second win is that we hope to instill a feeling of giving back and strengthening every community where we hold our camps!

About Jack Cuskey

Hello,

I've spent the better part of 30 years and a small fortune giving back and trying to improve whatever community I was a part of.  I taught disadvantaged youth how to play basketball on Saturdays from 1980 till 1984 when I volunteered for the Ardmore Rotary Club. Yearly, I played Santa for poor children at a Philadelphia Breakfast with Santa event during the early 90's and lent time, energy, and support to Royer Greave school for the blind and Devereaux foundation in the 2000's. Delaware County Community College named their theatre after me for a generous donation in 2005. After losing all my worldly possessions in a fire and receiving help from the Red Cross and Salvation Army, I've made yearly shows of support to say thank you for being there for me when I most needed it!

In closing, I hope I've shown a proven track record and a history of supporting  non profits, charities, foundations, organizations and worthy causes! My mother said I should tell you about my giving back so you would feel good about supporting The Cuskey Foundation 4 The Kids and help us continue helping sick, poor and disadvantaged children through our camps.  Like any good child or son, I listened to my mom :)!
Thank you !!! 

Sincerely and respectfully,
Jack Cuskey
