Cathy’s Kids, a Lamar Odom Foundation, was founded by Los Angeles Lakers star Lamar Odom in March 2004.
It was developed as a means for Lamar to streamline all his charitable efforts and focus on making a positive impact on the lives of under-privileged children, as well as targeting a disease that has played a significant role in his life, cancer.
Lamar lost his mother to stomach cancer and subsequently is committed to help causes that are focused on finding a cure and helping people who suffer from the disease.
Mission
Lamar is focused on ensuring that funds are available for under-privileged youth that live in the inner cities of New York and Los Angeles. It is important to Lamar that young people, especially between the ages of 9-14, have the resources they need to get all the opportunities available to succeed in life.
The things that Lamar has identified as most important to helping young people today would be to make sure they have access to some or all of the following:
*Educational tools such as books and computers
*Mentoring and tutoring services (life skills, guidance, academics)
*Recreational opportunities (sports equipment, team and individual sports)
Lamar is also committed to generating funds for continued research, care and clinics as well as education and awareness programs related to cancer, especially for minorities.
