    5. How can I obtain autographed memorabilia for my fundraising event?
    As a non-profit organization serving youth, we provide only a limited amount of autographed memorabilia to those programs whose mission coincide with ours -- supporting and promoting healthy lifestyles for children -- and who serve the same geographic locations: Western Michigan, New York City and Tampa, Fla.

    If your organization fits these guidelines, please submit your autographed memorabilia request on your company's letterhead to:

    Turn 2 Foundation

    6. How can I get the Turn 2 Foundation's support in my area?
    While the Turn 2 Foundation wishes we could offer assistance to children throughout the country, we have chosen to support the Western Michigan, New York City and Tampa areas because it is where Derek was raised (Michigan), where he works (New York) and where he lives (Florida).

    You may find information about anti-drug programs in your area through your local school district or parks and recreation department.
