At The Centered Foundation, we believe that building a healthier future is accessible to everyone and begins right in our communities. Whether it’s through movement, mentoring, or cooking, our mission is centered around empowering youth and families to enhance their health through education, youth scholarships, and establishing mindful partnerships in Miami County. We don’t want to do it alone.

The Power of Partnership

We love collaborating with organizations that are already making a difference. That’s why we’re proud to be part of the Family Mentoring Partnership in conjunction with Partners in Hope, where together, we walk alongside families, providing mentoring, resources, and support in the areas of fitness and nutrition. We’ve collaborated with Great Dogs Know to bring a powerful workshop on social/emotional wellness to our youth at The Troy Rec. The Centered Foundation is committed to finding like-minded organizations to join forces with and further our efforts.

Fun, Fitness & Family

Each year, we host the Super Kids Fitness Challenge at Troy’s Strawberry Festival. This is a high-energy, confidence-building event that gets kids moving, laughing, and learning about the power of physical activity.

We also rally our community for what we hope to be an annual 5K, which brings families together to support wellness and raise awareness for our mission. We had an overwhelming 136 participants at our first Start Strong, Stay Strong run. These events aren’t just fundraisers—they’re celebrations of health, hope, and community spirit.
