About
Rooted in Stockton.
Built for What's Next.
FACES Community Foundation was founded in 2025 by Joshua Brown, a licensed professional clinical counselor and former San Jose State University football player who has spent his career supporting students, families and athletes across the Central Valley. The Foundation exists to open doors through scholarships, mental wellness, athlete support and community partnerships.
Athletes & Mental Health: A Core Focus
Strong Bodies.
Stronger Minds.
Athletes are taught to push through pain, stay quiet, and keep playing. But the pressure to perform, the weight of injury, and the loss of identity when the game ends are real, and too many carry them alone.
FACES Community Foundation is committed to changing that. Founded by a former Division I football player and licensed mental health professional, we support youth, high school, college, and former athletes. We build awareness, break stigma, and connect athletes and their families to the help they deserve.
Awareness
We start honest conversations about mental health in locker rooms, schools, and communities.
Connection
We link athletes and families to trusted mental health resources.
Transition
We support athletes through injury, retirement, and life after sports.
Advocacy
We champion coaches and programs that treat mental health as part of performance.
Coming in 2027The Big Run: Cali to NYC
FTG JREED's 3,000-mile run for men's mental health, in partnership with FACES Community Foundation. Along the way, the campaign will share honest stories and connect communities with mental health support.
Tax-deductible gifts support FACES Community Foundation's mission, including athlete mental health.
