History

Founded in 2006 by actor Dwayne Johnson, The Rock Foundation is a tax-exempt, public non-profit organization under 501 (c) (3). During its first year, the foundation dedicated most of its efforts to The Rock's Toy Chest, our program that assisted in recovery and created hope in the lives of children hospitalized for various medical conditions. In 2008, the foundation decided to shift its focus to concentrate on youth physical fitness and global education. Beginning in 2009, the foundation will devote its energy and efforts towards physical fitness and health education.

Our mission is to educate, empower and motivate children worldwide through health education and physical fitness. Our staff and board of directors, comprised of experienced philanthropists and entertainment professionals, believe in the potential of children and the importance of a nurturing, positive and supportive environment for them to learn, grow and realize the power of accomplishments.

We encourage you to explore our website to learn more about ways in which you can help us create hope and opportunity in the lives of our youth.
