We teach the core values kids need to succeed — through sports, stories, and one-on-one mentoring across the Tampa Bay community and beyond.
Meet the Threads & Friends All-Stars in our interactive digital library. Kids can read every book, watch the read-aloud stories, listen to the audiobooks, and collect a value for each player — all free.
The Peter J. Mulry Foundation increases awareness of — and teaches — the core values we believe young people need to succeed in life. We do it through live sports and life-skills clinics, scholarships, and a reading-and-mentoring program built on our own curriculum.
“Our staff is dedicated to the education, training, coaching, and teaching of life skills and core values to young people. Through our efforts we hope to increase awareness and to teach the core values we deem necessary for successful achievement.”
— Coach Pete Mulry, Founder & Board President
