Causes
Chairman/Founder – The Rock Foundation Our mission is to EDUCATE, EMPOWER and ENRICH the lives of children worldwide. My foundation achieves its mission through its youth physical fitness and obesity prevention program and its educational worldwide giving program. My physical fitness and obesity prevention program is designed to improve the health and build the self-esteem of children; educating children about healthy eating, nutrition and the life benefits of physical exercise. The program emphasizes the importance of goal-setting, overcoming obstacles, and power of realizing accomplishments. My global giving initiative educates American school children about the issues facing their peers in developing countries. The program promotes cultural awareness and encourages students to make a difference through the means of various creative 'giving' projects for the benefit of their international counterparts. Our educational program empowers both American school children and their international peers by reducing barriers that affect learning and building confidence and self-esteem in order to achieve educational goals. www.djrockfoundation.org Other Philanthropic Commitments: RED CROSS Celebrity Cabinet Member, Make-A-Wish Foundation, National Make-A-Wish Advisory Board, University of Miami, Best Buddies International, After-School All Stars (National Spokesperson)

Yes...please bring back the Presidental fitness tests in school. They don't even have recess at my kids' school....no physical activity what so ever. No wonder the obesity rate is increasing at an alarming rate amoungst children. Childhood obesity is a cause that will determin the fate of our nation's future....kinda scary.

Hi, Dwayne, I just wanted to commend you and your group for such hard work you put into “The Rock Foundation” and how you save children all over world. Years ago, we didn’t have many nonprofit organizations helping worldwide the way we do now. And if we did, it wasn’t so easy to research and to network with those “real” groups. Therefore, I am grateful that you and many other people in the world are taking part in this mission. Keep up the good work and dedication, and never doubt your hard work & efforts. “Wait, what am I saying?” I know you won’t, right? Also, “Happy Birthday to You” as I am a big fan of yours; and I can’t wait to see you in your next star movie. Smile!!! --Ms. Tre’

In Cameroon, you stand an idol to many youths and to learn your actions for children will empower many children and initiate them towards development. Wish your organization could collectively work in Cameroon to help improve lives of our poor community. Bravo and more blessings

Hey man!

I just wanted to share something with you. I mean no disrespect but when you were a wrestler I would see you on TV and would just cringe! I would get so irritated when you would do that..."CAN YOU SMELLLLL" thing and the eye brow....

Then I watched Biography and learned a little about you, and I have to say it completely turned me around on how I felt about you. I saw what a caring and cool guy you really are. I am really glad that I watched that and opened my eyes.

I have since learned never to pre-judge anyone. We all have our stories and no matter where we have been and what we have done, that is not WHO we are...it is just our experiences. We are all beautiful. We are all unique...just sometimes we forget that.

Thanks for all you do man!!
With respect,
David Foster

Dear Dwayne,
coincidentally, I saw your Internet site ``THE ROCK FOUNDATION`` . Unfortunately I did not hear in former times of it. You make a great work. Thank you, because only by you / your internet site I had found MTDN . I wish you much success with the Rock Foundation and much health that you can continue your great work ...
