ABOUT THE MARIO V. CHALMERS FOUNDATION The mission of the Mario V. Chalmers Foundation is to create and support community-based programs that encourage the positive development of youth through sports and education and fund initiatives for breast cancer research and treatment. Raising funds for women with breast cancer has been a major cause that Mario Chalmers has supported ever since a dear childhood friend's mother passed away from the disease a number of years ago. The foundation also strives to empower, inspire and enable youth to live healthy lifestyles, put education first and give back to their communities. Each activity supported by the Mario V. Chalmers Foundation encourages youths to stay positive and remind them that in times of adversity...we must perform.
