Our Mission

Together We Can Change the World

The purpose of the Vincent A. Huggins Foundation is to support programs in Arts & Culture, Education and Cancer Research. Cancer took the life of Vincent and thus, the focus on being educated about this disease is imperative and important to the Huggins family. People need to be educated on proper nutrition and how to live a healthy physical life and learn how to fight back against this disease. The mission of the Foundation is to add a voice to the many seeking to get lawmakers to make Cancer a national priority. The Arts are essential. It teaches students innumerable lessons - small differences can have a big effect in encouraging creativity. The Arts also teach that there are many ways to approach problems and those problems can have more than one solution. Reports show that increased access and involvement in arts education encourage students to stay in school and succeed in life and work. Yet not every student has access to these arts in learning experiences. The Vincent A. Huggins Foundation hopes to make this more readily available with its support.
