Established in 1999, DAE Foundation is led by Jermel President, CEO. Jermel is a former Burke High School Bull Dog and went on to a brilliant career at the College of Charleston ('95-'99). This former point guard is a member of the College of Charleston Hall Of Fame and last year was given the ultimate honor of having his number retired and it is now hanging from the rafters of the Cougar's home court, The TD Bank Arena. After his college career, Jermel, enjoyed a pro career and was coached by National Basketball Hall of Famer The Great Rick Barry. Upon completing his playing career Mr. President remembering his own trials and tribulations of growing up in the Charleston inner - city decided it was time to give back and founded the NON-Profit organization called the DAE FOUNDATION and The FUN-DA-MENTAL Camp.
In addition to leading his team at the DAE Foundation, he is currently the Director of Athletics, at Palmetto Academy. His other endeavors and affiliations include College of Charleston, Alumni Board, (2007); SAFY Board Member (2009); Cougar Club Board (Booster Club-2007); MUSC College of Nursing Board, Co-Chair (2009); Leadership South Carolina (2010); President Productions (specializing in personal training, athletic curriculum advisement and consulting service for schools and coaches).
Personal Mission Statement: To educate and be a positive influence on student athletes. As a respected member of the Lowcountry community, I will work with parents and fellow educators to defeat the stigma of the uneducated athlete, by better preparing the student athlete for life beyond the sport.
If you or your organization can benefit from a deeper connection with athletes, parents, teachers, and the community through an affiliation with a progressive non-profit that fosters the evolution of the student athlete to future business leaders for your company or community please contact us at:
