Where purpose meets play.

About Us

The Twenty Four Foundation is for everyone. We meet communities where they are and teach them STEM and life skills through localized programs.

Vision

A world where passions become pathways to the STEM careers of tomorrow.

Our values

Equity: Every learner deserves access to quality sports, education, and mentorship regardless of zip code or income.

Innovation: We don't wait for communities to find STEM on their own. We bring it to them. Our innovative approach meets people through the passions they already have. We've reimagined what STEM education looks and feels like, making it more exciting and accessible for the communities we serve.

Community: We position ourselves as a trusted partner in the communities we serve, so our programs are built by the community, for the community. When that's not yet possible, we partner with the leaders, organizations, and families already doing the work.

Legacy: The people who poured into us shaped who we are. We pay that forward by pouring into the next generation.

Origin

We started The Twenty Four Foundation in loving memory of our father, Kenneth Booker, a man who believed every person deserved guidance, opportunity, and someone in their corner.

He raised us through Chesterfield County's athletic programs, never missed a game, and coached from the sidelines in ways that went far beyond the field. As technology changed the world around him, his curiosity kept pace as he was the family's go-to tech expert and a fierce advocate for helping people find their path.

The foundation's name honors his birthday, May 24th, a date that now symbolizes the legacy of equity, innovation, and community he lived every day.

Through sports, STEM education, and career pathways, we create opportunities for people of all ages to discover what they love and how far they can go.

Every program is a reflection of his legacy and his belief that every person deserves a Coach for Life.
