The Trufant Family Foundation
About the Trufant Family Foundation
The Foundation was established in 2003 from Marcus’ and his family’s desire to give back to the greater Tacoma and Seattle community who have supported him throughout his football career. Since its beginning, the foundation has steadily increased its yearly charitable contributions through funds raised at various community based events.
The Trufant Family Foundation’s mission is to assist in making dreams come true for disadvantaged youth and their families, by supporting community programs, such as the Boys and Girls Clubs, Communities In Schools and The Salvations Army.
Our vision and purpose is to be an example of service to others by giving of our time, resources, knowledge and love for the betterment of children, adults, families and the community. We strive to make a difference in someone's life one person at a time and to share his or her success stories with others as a true example that all things are possible, and can be achieved, to those who believe.
