Tony and Angi Boselli began making an impact on the lives of the youth in Jacksonville in May of 1995. After Tony was named the first draft pick in Jaguar's history, they both realized how fortunate they had been over the years to have received ample support from both their families and their communities.

This realization led to their continuing commitment and creation of the Jacksonville charity to improve the lives of youth by encouraging them to set goals for themselves and to strive to do their best in all they undertake. Even after Tony's NFL career took the Boselli family to Houston, their hearts remained with the Jacksonville community. In 2005, they were fortunate to come home to Florida and immediately began planning how to reignite the Boselli Foundation.

After opening the first Tony Boselli Youth Life Learning Center in early 2007, their immediate concentration is to continue opening more centers throughout Jacksonville. The focus of the TBYLLC is to provide the community with a comprehensive, holistic, afterschool programs and learning environment that includes academic enrichment and remedial education in the areas of reading/language arts and mathematics, supplemental services, mentoring, and character development.

They are also eager to bring back a local favorite, "Shop with a Jock". This is a fun holiday shopping experience for financially underprivileged children. This program pairs children with professional athletes for a once in a lifetime, fun-filled shopping spree. With shopping lists in hand, the pros and children are then sent into a local store to select gifts for their family members and other loved ones. Look for this program in December 2008.

Helping children become champions at home, at school and in the community describes the commitment of The Boselli Foundation. Tony & Angi strive to provide opportunities for all children to reach their full potential, especially those with limited financial resources.

The goals of the Boselli Foundation are to provide activities and programs that focus on character-building, academics and community involvement to enhance the lives of youth in the Jacksonville area. This foundation would like to see all youth in the city receive the emotional and practical support they need to set goals, reach for the stars and become champions in their own lives.

The youth targeted for foundation programs have limited financial resources, come from all areas of greater Jacksonville, range in age from five to eighteen years old and are selected without regard to race or ethnic background.
