Rodney Fisher Foundation Inc

Promoting Under Served Communities via Sports

I started the Rodney Fisher Foundation Inc after providing equipment, clothes and shoes to the Atteridgeville Saulsville Tennis Club in Atteridgeville, South Africa for a number of years and raising funds to convert a classroom into a library at the Factreton Primary School, Cape Town, South Africa. It has always been my goal to start my own missionary work or foundation to help under-privileged communities.

I was offered a scholarship to complete my master’s degree in Sports Medicine in the USA in 1996. In 1999, I graduated from Eastern Michigan University Grad School in Michigan. I also worked in New York as a Sports Director at the YWCA head office for one year and went back into the teaching profession.

I have been involved in sports all my life as a player, coach and administrator. Currently, I am a regular tennis player in the USTA league on Hilton Head Island and I believe that every child should be given the opportunity to develop their talent to excel in sport. My motto is “a Healthy mind needs a Healthy body”. My time on a daily basis is divided between teaching Biology, Chemistry, Anatomy and STEM classes as a full-time faculty at Heritage Academy, raising funds for the Foundation, and participating in league tennis.

I am a dedicated professional that would love to create opportunities for the youth to play a valuable role in their communities and globally. Join me today in promoting under-served communities through sports.
