The T.R.U.E Foundation Inc (TTF) holds an annual Basketball Tournament in the beginning of the school year and it is the cap off event of a whole week of events which we call TRUE week all geared toward welcoming the Freshmen Class. This event has truly been one of the highlights during the Freshmen first week of school.

Serving in the Café and Campus Clean-Up
Two times a year TTF volunteers to serve in the schools café and conduct campus clean-ups. TTF believes in demonstrating and taking pride in giving back to the University that provides them as well as the students education. TTF believes that in leading by example it would have a positive outlook on how students view and take care of the campus.
Thanksgiving Dinner
The T.R.U.E. Foundation Inc. hosts an annual Thanksgiving dinner for their mentees as a way to acknowledge how thankful we are for the mentees participation in our program. The purpose of the Thanksgiving dinner is to promote an away from home family thanksgiving experience to let our mentees know that we are their extended family when they are at school.
Special Olympic of Virginia
During the 2002-2003 Academic School Year TTF was very instrumental in a collaborative effort to initiate a partnership between Special Olympics of Virginia “Urban Programs” and Virginia State University. Spearheaded by one of the members of TTF they were able to compile a management volunteer team that would manage all of the volunteers. This management team complied of TTF members were able to recruit a vast amount of volunteers from the Sports Management Program in the Health, Physical Education and Recreation Department and student volunteers from a variety of campus organizations. This annual Track and Field Event is still held at Virginia State University and the partnership between VSU and SOVA continue to grow as they have implemented a Volleyball and Basketball competition. Every year TTF is involved in assisting as volunteers for these events staying committed to what they have helped to begin.
