The Courage Cup is an IRS designated 501(c) (3) non-profit corporation which was established to help at-risk urban youth. They support programs in the mid-Atlantic region which give disadvantaged children individualized attention and a positive alternative activity to keep them in school and off the streets. In addition to supporting these programs financially, they also recruit volunteers for their activities.
