21stMagWorkingFINAL3.indd 8 9/18/17 8:49 AM LETTER from the FOUNDER

Dear friends, When people ask how I am still so passionate about Turn 2 after all these years, the answer is pretty simple to me; it’s a product

of witnessing how our initiatives continue to positively impact the Cavanagh/The Players’ Tribune Photo: Maureen lives of so many young people. I’ve had the pleasure of watching countless kids enter our programs with dreams and a curiosity for life, and over time discover inside themselves the skills and confi dence they needed to achieve the incredible things they dreamed of doing. The Jeter’s Leaders, in particular, continue to amaze me. These young people are incredibly ambitious, and their passion and commitment to the values of the Turn 2 Foundation are inspiring. Our programs – fostering leadership development, academic achievement, healthy lifestyles, positive behavior and social change – have made a profound difference in the lives of our Jeter’s Leaders and thousands of other young people across the country. The success of these initiatives is something I am truly proud of, and is validation of the hard work we have done together since 1996. Last year we recognized the tremendous milestones we achieved over the course of our foundation’s 20 years. After two decades of working tirelessly to help young people rise above negative infl uences and succeed, some may have thought we had a great run and that we’d declare “mission accomplished” and call it quits. But the fact is, Turn 2 has so much more to accomplish and we’re just getting started. In September, the Jeter’s Leaders – who always wore the same pinstriped jerseys I spent my entire career in – debuted new jerseys custom-designed for them by Jordan Brand. These jerseys perfectly symbolize what this year represents not just for our Leaders but for the entire Turn 2 Foundation: the start of an exciting new chapter. As Turn 2 continues to grow, we plan to do even more to help young people reach their full potential, and we plan to implement more initiatives that will make a positive difference in communities across the country. The best is yet to come, and I thank each one of you for playing a role in building upon our foundation’s legacy and success. Our partners, who work with us to develop new and exciting programs; our sponsors, who provide critical resources that help us further our mission; the athletes and celebrities, who take time out of their busy schedules to support our initiatives and events; the young people in our programs, who continue to inspire me; my sister, Sharlee, and her tremendously talented staff, who work day-in-and-day-out to ensure the success of our foundation; and my parents, who serve as my biggest mentors and inspirations. When I started Turn 2 with my father, I had only hoped that I would be able to give back to the communities that had given me so much. What the foundation has become exceeded my wildest dreams, and I am forever grateful to all who have supported us since day one. Here’s to the next chapter.

Sincerely,

Derek Jeter Turn 2 Foundation, Inc. | 2017 Edition | 9

PRESIDENT BOARD OF DIRECTORS Dear friends,

Photo: Sam Maller DEREK JETER Founder and Chairman Over the last year, I have spent countless hours reflecting on the pivotal DR. S. CHARLES JETER Vice Chairman moments in my life that led me to this point. I encourage you, when you DOROTHY C. JETER Treasurer have an opportunity, to do the same. Think ahead of the moments when you may have been at a crossroads, unsure of what the future would hold; about SHARLEE JETER Secretary the individuals who were there to offer support. Whether or not we’ve been NNEKA A. FRYE Member conscious of this fact, most of us have been surrounded by role models who have helped each of us get to where we are today. They were our parents, our GERALD F. WILLIAMS Member teachers, our colleagues and our coaches.

Today, there are countless young people nationwide who are in need of TURN 2 FOUNDATION STAFF guidance to help them navigate the everyday challenges that are part of SHARLEE JETER President growing up. And with new issues confronting these young people every day, it is more important now, than ever before, that we continue to inspire them to FRANLI GUZMAN Vice President lead the lives they imagine.

When Derek began the Turn 2 Foundation in 1996, he drew inspiration from his father’s experience as a drug and alcohol counselor whose work had helped so many people overcome substance abuse. Derek recognized that motivating young people to avoid and overcome drugs and alcohol was a key to helping them reach their full potential, and with his father’s help, made it a cornerstone of the Turn 2 Foundation.

“We are so grateful to the Turn 2 Foundation for motivating young people to turn away from drugs and alcohol and to adopt a healthy lifestyle.
