Honoring Legacy, Inspiring Change
OUr story
The Tamani Carter Memorial Foundation was established to honor the life and legacy of Tamani Carter—a bright, big-hearted student-athlete with an undeniable passion for music, sports, and, above all, the well-being of those he loved. In his memory, we are dedicated to transforming the conversation around mental wellness for student-athletes.
A Culture of Total Wellness
Our vision
Student athletes often face immense pressures, both on and off the field. The TC3 Foundation aims to uplift these young people by integrating mental wellness into every aspect of their development—helping them thrive in sports and in life.
Drawing on the Eight Dimensions of Wellness—emotional, spiritual, physical, intellectual, financial, occupational, social, and environmental—we recognize that true well-being is holistic. By nurturing each dimension, student athletes can build resilience, nurture personal growth, and maintain strong mental health. Our goal is to ensure these approaches become woven into team cultures and support systems, making mental wellness as vital as physical training.
Empowering Change, One Community at a Time
Our approach
At TC3 Foundation, we take a multi-faceted approach to supporting student-athletes' mental wellness:
Funder: We host community-focused events to generate resources and support for organizations leading the way in mental wellness programs for student-athletes.
Advocacy & Research: We drive greater awareness of young athletes' mental health needs by gathering data through events and training, and championing innovative practices.
Resources & Training: We provide in-house training for service providers while also connecting student-athletes and their families to essential resources and agencies, ensuring comprehensive well-being.
