| Our Mission |
| The Mission of the Cinderblock Foundation (CBF) is to provide financial and academic support and mentoring to disadvantaged and marginalized students in urban areas. This mission is accomplished by providing need-based scholarships, like the Joe Rhym Memorial Scholarship, that grant recipients access to the tools, instruction, and opportunity that quality academic institutions can provide. CBF believes that well-educated students are able to avoid certain obstacles that may prevent them from becoming successful, goal-oriented adults, who are active in their communities and who positively affect our society. It is the belief of this foundation that young people who are exposed to a meaningful education, endowed with a sense of purpose, and shown unconditional love and support, acquire the ability to grow and to achieve great things. |
