Peter Westbrook with Oprah Winfrey
Now in our 20th year, the Peter Westbrook Foundation (PWF) has put in thousands of hours and tremendous financial support to our participants in a variety of programs designed to empower inner-city youth:

- The After School Leadership Program, which helps talented student athletes realize their academic and athletic dreams; and
- The Saturday Fencing Program, which teaches our youth the sport of fencing.
The Foundation continues to be a beacon of hope that gives hundreds of financially-challenged students the means to thrive academically, athletically, culturally and socially.
The Foundation is proud to announce the publication of our 20th Anniversary Coffee Table Book!
