In keeping with our Mission, The Always Forward Project solicits public input identifying worthy honorees. By submitting the form on this page, you may nominate a coach or educator to be honored by the Always Forward Project for his or her good works in the lives of our young people.

Our first honoree, Coach Ernest J. Perry, Sr., set the bar high. But, we have all known educators and coaches who have selflessly and without fanfare exemplified the same lofty standards. If such a person has meaningfully impacted your life or the life of a family member, please tell us about him or her, so that we can use this site to tell others.

A principle objective of the Always Forward Project is to enhance educational opportunities and experiences for persons who, as high school students, participated earnestly and substantially in extracurricular activities, whether athletic, club-oriented, career-oriented, community oriented, or artistic. Our purpose in doing so is to honor Coach Perry and other great educators, coaches, and mentors, by enabling them, with your help, to continue paying it forward.

The project is focused on helping promising young people continue their forward momentum by helping them with participation fees, tutoring, transportation, equipment, expenses, needs, and logistics related to the Always Forward Project's purpose.
