They have chosen to make a positive impact for people in challenging situations here at home through the Thurman Thomas Family Foundation (TTFF). The mission of the TTFF is to make a difference through programs that support education, health and wellness while being committed to diversity and inclusion for all of those in need in our local community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d657c2b981f16000105c44e/1566933638556-TIT58TJ34JO0ZEZAMKM5/image-asset.jpeg Home - Youth Football Camps Offering a week-long camp for local kids who would otherwise not have the chance to learn the game. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d657c2b981f16000105c44e/1566934033698-DHK89K247HAW3CPQSTS6/image-asset.jpeg Home - Scholarship Program Assisting disadvantaged students within Erie County who are continuing their education at SUNY Erie Community College.

In this new collaboration with the SUNY Erie Community College Foundation, the Thurman Thomas Family Foundation will provide funds to allocate up to three disadvantaged students per year with full tuition, fees, books and related costs upon entering the second year of their program. This equates to approximately $5,000-6,000 per award in scholarships to students who might not otherwise have the resources to finish their education. To be eligible, students must have graduated from a school district within Erie County, be of African American descent, be a full-time matriculating student at SUNY Erie, have a minimum GPA of 2.5 and have a letter of recommendation from a member of the SUNY Erie faculty, staff, or alumni, high school counselor or administrator. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d657c2b981f16000105c44e/1567000823756-4A4VE3K7LJENEUHE70ZE/Headshot_0003_Lovullo.jpg Home Paul Lovullo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d657c2b981f16000105c44e/1567000798224-CC30WRTXAG3XUOUJ4NM2/Headshot_0005_Herbert.jpg Home Herbert Bellamy, Jr. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d657c2b981f16000105c44e/1567000864590-HRDGZCV06SDAQ1Y906DC/Headshot_0006_placeholder.jpg Home Olivia Thomas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d657c2b981f16000105c44e/1567000889567-KMTPP5D9QNJVINL17O78/Headshot_0000_Thurman.jpg Home Thurman Thomas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d657c2b981f16000105c44e/1567000853401-FDL3008II6RAVYA4VE4X/Headshot_0002_MichaelP.jpg Home Michael Pietkiewicz https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d657c2b981f16000105c44e/1567000876273-LS7D5LJFVI3EPFIF63OZ/Headshot_0001_Patti.jpg Home Patti Thomas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d657c2b981f16000105c44e/1567000947953-VS7D7PZZ8ENJSF8KF2IZ/Headshot_0007_LauraZ.jpg Home Laura Zaepfel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d657c2b981f16000105c44e/1567000841811-ZPNACDBATNN7IWGQYYJD/Headshot_0006_placeholder.jpg Home Mickey Mariacher https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d657c2b981f16000105c44e/1566996835068-XOS1JHYOCPT0EWYM3AT2/ThurmanHeader2.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d657c2b981f16000105c44e/1566996866444-3UZOCEWVREJM3S3EGBUQ/andrew-mcelroy-XaGNO7bgZa8-unsplash.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d657c2b981f16000105c44e/1566999466367-A1RNG9JJ68AIZT53PJ0S/ben-hershey-B4XZxcZcTsI-unsplash.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d657c2b981f16000105c44e/1566999691125-QYODR68PPRVVBGXU0C6N/blue.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d657c2b981f16000105c44e/1567000977504-70TECYU8EWJIAEBP9O5H/blue.jpg Home https://www.thurmanthomasfamilyfoundation.org/donate-index-impact daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d657c2b981f16000105c44e/1566998816145-PG40P52FPIX6VFW6APFP/blue.jpg Donate https://www.thurmanthomasfamilyfoundation.org/blog-impact daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://www.thurmanthomasfamilyfoundation.org/blog-impact/example-blog-post-1-syc7d monthly 0.5 2017-11-09 https://www.thurmanthomasfamilyfoundation.org/blog-impact/example-blog-post-2-8z6ml monthly 0.5 2017-11-09 https://www.thurmanthomasfamilyfoundation.org/contact daily 0.75 2019-08-29 https://www.thurmanthomasfamilyfoundation.org/give daily 0.75 2022-05-15 https://www.thurmanthomasfamilyfoundation.org/press-impact daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://www.thurmanthomasfamilyfoundation.org/programs-impact daily 0.75 2025-05-12
