DinoMights Inner City Youth Hockey
1995 DinoMights was founded by John Foley. Phillips, Powderhorn, and
Central are Minneapolis neighborhoods with an infamous reputation for
gangs and low test scores. Yet, in the midst of these conditions John
Foley, the son of longtime Faith Covenant pastor Ross Foley, founded
DinoMights in 1995. John saw past the statistics into the beautiful faces
of the children. What he saw was a lack of opportunities and positive
long-term relationships with caring adults. And so, DinoMights was founded
to make a wholistic impact on the lives of Minneapolis inner city youth. |
