PART III LINE 4D BACK TO SCHOOL BEST In an effort to help prepare South Florida youth for the 2012-13 school year, Katina Taylor developed the "Back to School Best" program to provide children with new haircuts at the AVEDA Institute. Katina's understanding of the value of having a positive body image as our youth embark on a new school year helped her to identify another opportunity to assist children with focusing on their studies and not their appearance while attending school. In 2012, the program provided 80 children with a full haircut service and a new backpack equipped with school supplies. In addition, Jason and Katina Taylor, as well as special guests including the Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders, were on hand to interact with the children and their families, ensuring and uplifting back-to-school celebration. PART III LINE 4D JT'S PING PONG SMASH KIDS CLINIC In December 2012 the Jason Taylor Foundation held the fifth-annual JT's Ping Pong Smash Kids Clinic. Jason Taylor teamed up with former Puerto Rican Junior National Table Tennis Champion, Juan Ly to create the program, which preceded the Foundation's annual charity table-tennis fundraiser, to offer boys and girls of South Florida a free opportunity to learn a range of ping pong skills and strategies from a celebrated professional. Nearly 100 deserving children from several different youth organizations throughout Miami-Dade and Broward counties received 90 minutes of expert table-tennis instruction. No experience or ping pong background was required. Each child received an Publix backpack a Killerspin paddle and an invite to stick around and watch the 3Cinteractive JT Ping Pong Smash - Presented by Publix. During the tournament, kids watched celebrities compete against one another, obtained celebrity autographs, played video games, ate snacks and enjoyed interactive games. PART III LINE 4D OMARI HARDWICK BLUAPPLE POETRY NETWORK The Omari Hardwick bluapple Poetry Network, is a multi-faceted, after-school spoken word poetry program available free to students actively attending Broward County public high schools and middle schools as a result of a collaboration between the Jason Taylor Foundation and the School Board of Broward County's Diversity, Cultural Outreach and Prevention Department. The program provides an environment for students to focus on literacy, prevention issues and social awareness as vehicles for self expression, both written and through performance, ultimately empowering young people, the schools they attend and the communities in which they live. In addition, by recognizing each poetry group as a member of the school district's overall network, rather than simply as an individual program, a greater sense of community is developed with ideas, creativity and understanding being shared across district boundaries. Currently, 25 schools actively participate in the Network, a number that will grow during the 2013-14 school year. Founded by the Jason Taylor Foundation, along with actor and accomplished poet, Omari Hardwick, the bluapple Poetry Network is moderated by Darius Daughtry, who leads school instructors in workshops, both in person and on line, as he guides them through a curriculum he has tailored specifically for the students of Broward County given his experience serving as a teacher in the district. PART III LINE 4D ALL COMMUNITY TEAM During the 2012 National Football League season, the Jason Taylor Foundation provided a unique experience for various youth groups each week the Miami Dolphins hosted a home game. Groups were given 20 tickets, parking passes and in-stadium beverages and snacks so that they could enjoy an NFL game in person and watch Jason Taylor, President and Founder of the Jason Taylor Foundation, perform on the field. For a majority of the children, this was their first time attending an NFL game. The experience was also used by various programs as an incentive for participating children to exhibit good behavior, a positive attitude and strong participation in school. PART VIII LINE 2F 2012 STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE REVENUE PART VIII LINE 2F JASON TAYLOR READING ROOM In conjunction with each of the past six school years, the Jason Taylor Foundation has held classes for the Jason Taylor Reading Room. Located at the Miramar Youth Enrichment Center, the Jason Taylor Reading Room is a comprehensive after-school program designed to address academic challenges among inner-city youth, particularly in the areas of literacy. Middle school and high school students participate in the program for two hours per day throughout the school year, and are navigated through a rotating academic focus calendar with assistance from a full-time Educational Director, certified teachers and teachers' aids. The program's curriculum addresses vocabulary development, reading comprehension, language arts, creative writing skills, oral reading fluency and novel study, as well as ninety minutes of weekly math instruction per grade level. The Reading Room also provides individualized computer assisted learning opportunities and homework support. 2012 also marked the third year of the Reading Room's full-time case manager, who monitors and tracks students academic performance, attendance and behavior, as well as serves as a liaison between the program, the students' schools and their parents. In an effort to provide a creative outlet, the Reading Room allows students to utilize critical literacy skills as a vehicle for self expression, both written and through performance, with the Omari Hardwick bluapple Poetry Corner, a spoken word poetry component held each Friday. Through the Jason Taylor Foundation's continuing partnerships with other community-based organizations, additional extra curricular activities are made available to Reading Room students including cooking and nutritional classes, mentoring programs, field days and more. PART VIII LINE 2F THE RONNIE BROWN PROJECT "23 WAYS TO STOP YOUTH VIOLENCE" This anti-violence campaign aimed at middle school and high school students was designed by former Miami Dolphins Running Back Ronnie Brown to create heightened awareness of the epidemic of violence and bullying today's young people are experiencing, and to discuss practical solutions to managing the actions and emotions that often lead to violent acts. Donors who provided funding for this program underwrote the costs of guest speakers, licensing and rights fees for Teen Truth Live's award-winning documentary, a program curriculum provided to each school, supporting collateral materials, etc.
