At the Lou Lou Race Foundation, we’re committed to doing things the right way. That means staying transparent, building trust, and protecting the young people at the heart of what we do.

The Council meets quarterly to review grant applications, fundraising plans and foundation activity. All decisions are recorded in official minutes.
