Projects
JC Inspires Foundation was born with the commitment to contribute and develop a system that provides current practical and functional training for individuals in our society and discover creatively the knowledge and skills of both our staff, collaborators, and participants. In the society we live today with the integration of technology and diverse media platforms we have unconsciously started losing human contact, sharing, debating, and being participatory in individual integration in society. The family is the core of society and we need to understand that there are many types of these from traditional to dysfunctional or different but within their responsibility, they are still families who work hard every day to support each other and find their purpose. For JC Inspires Foundation it is important to educate and keep alive values by integrating our philosophy that every day we learn something new and important. It is of great importance to keep value and education as part of our foundation; We understand that each person should and needs to feel that it has value and that as simple as your contribution may seem, it is of great importance in the role of society. We do not discriminate against race, ethnicity, sex, age, sexual orientation and/or social status. It is our passion to serve and help with love and dedication.

Disney gives to JC
Everybody knows who, what, where, when and why Walt Disney and Walt Disney Resort exists and are famously known for the family friendly fun and the direct cause of so many smiling children world-wide. Working with so many underprivileged communities and low income families, a Disney World vacation is not something that most of these families cannot afford. We are very fortunate and incredibly proud of what Disney has been able to donate to us for the kids in need who have dreams of Disney World each and every day. Disney actually donates a plethora of Walt Disney park tickets for us to distribute to some lucky boys and girls who have always dreamed of one day visiting the Walt Disney Resort and Parks. And like the Disney song says "the dream that you wish will come true".

Eco Fair Farmers Event |
|
Eco Fair Farmers is an event that is hosted in Homestead, FL where professional farmers teach new and up and coming farmers, as well as any other attendees, about the environment and Florida's national everglades parks. Vital information is taught at this fair and its also an exciting opportunity to learn more about the sunshine state that we live in. Local businesses and organizations also come out to promote their work and even local farmers come out to participate in a farmer's market to sell fresh produce at very low and reasonable pricing. We were very excited to participate in this event because it is a great way to connect with the South Florida locals and let them know what we do so they too can spread awareness our way.

Book Giveaway event in DR
One of the core values of our foundation is the promotion of education to help give kids the best possible chance at life when they get older. In Dominican Republic we hosted an event where we brought with us all types of books for children of all ages and gave all the kids that attended the chance to choose the books they found to be the most interesting. We believe that by allowing the children to choose the topics of the books that they will actually be inspired and motivated to want to read these books. We hope to continue to provide books to as many children as possible.
