The Ivory Strong Foundation

Empowering Youth and Veterans

Join us in our mission to inspire and support youth through education, art, and sports, and to provide therapeutic outdoor recreation for veterans. Together, we can “gift the ink” to those who need it.

Who We Are

The Ivory Strong Foundation, founded by Kevin “Doc” Ivory, is dedicated to fostering resilience and hope. Rooted in Doc’s journey from foster care to naval service, our mission is to empower youth and veterans through comprehensive programs in education, art, sports, and therapeutic recreation.

"The Ivory Strong Foundation's book program is incredibly impactful. The books are creative and engaging, making a huge difference in our community's literacy. Highly recommended!"

"My child's basketball skills have improved dramatically thanks to the Ivory Strong Foundation's training program. The focus on both physical and mental development is outstanding!"

"As a veteran, I appreciate the connection with the Ivory Strong Foundation. The founder, a Purple Heart recipient, truly understands and supports our community."

Our Mission
