The Lakewood Legacy Foundation is a community trust. We support many of the non-profit organizations in Lakewood. The foundation works in conjunction with other local organizations to assist a wide range of non-profit programs/services in the Lakewood community that are unable to receive funding through traditional sources.
To raise money and provide grants for projects and programs that enhance the well being of the people in Lakewood.
The Lakewood Legacy Foundation was started in 1986 by two local businessmen, Wilbur Rogers and Mark T. Starr, who saw an urgent need to renovate and expand the local senior activity center, Clements Community Center. (A second home to thousands of seniors.) A fundraising campaign was launched and the enthusiasm of local individuals and businesses made the project an overwhelming success.
The reality of providing additional services at a higher quality to more seniors inspired the community to join together to help meet needs of other worthy programs requiring financial assistance.
