About Team Eagle Foundation (TEF)

Team Eagle Foundation TEF was created in 2010 by a few friends (Bob Beman & Dennis Kohl) in an effort to bring a real-world strategic mentoring experience to young adults (ages 15 to 20) across the State of New Jersey. This includes connections to applicable education, and career pathways, not just jobs. 310 Individuals went through the week-long LEDR (Leadership Experience—Direct Results) over 8 years. The program was halted due to the COVID-19 lockdowns. At that time the focus changed with regards to (both) fund-raising and awards Fundraising has included:

  • The Jersey Guys Golf Outing which with teammate NJMEP ran for 8 years and brought in almost $250,000
  • Industry & Foundations that accumulated another $200,000
But…
  • Smaller Individual Donations have remained the lead source and been responsible for half of our entire gross total
And now…
  • 100% of proceeds for 12 Simple Words Book Sales – currently at $40,000 !!!
That said, the TEF Volunteers continued to provide for educational grants and scholarships awards for 800+ individuals that have now topped $1 million in distributed dollars – Education Grant Recipients – include:
