History of the Organization

Founded in early 2011, AZAR Foundation, Inc. was born from a group of individuals that wanted to positively influence the lives of youth and the communities around them. The vision of the foundation came from a humble commitment to serve those who need it, and to create initiatives and programs to help all children and families. Armed with big hearts, motivation and knowledge of the impact, awareness of our causes, and small amounts of donations, the AZAR Foundation has taken tremendous strides and has set its place as an established organization.
