A Great Cause

One of the main objectives of the Adam Taliaferro Foundation is giving. That not only means giving to those athletes who have suffered from a spinal cord injury, it also means giving up some time. And no one gives more than the Board of Directors for the ATF.

Many of the front office members of the ATF have full-time jobs and volunteer their time to a good cause. President Jim Horner resides over the Foundation, with vice president Chris Mourtos, secretary Kathleen M. Moscufo and treasurer Larry Ginsburg (Taliaferro’s high school coach) also firmly in place.

Then, there’s the board. Ron Jaworski, Ukee Washington, Tom Curley, Dave Maxwell, Josh Marks, Esquire and Jason Cole, MBA, all have a hand in organizing events, including the Adam Taliaferro All-Star Football Classic held at Rowan University (N.J.) each year, which helps finance and promote this organization, and decides who should be the recipient of the annual
$5,000 grant.

Overall, the ATF provides educational resources and information on the prevention of cervical spine injuries, as well as appropriate medical protocols for the immediate recognition of spinal
injuries and the proper subsequent medical treatment.


“One day we’d like to help more people than just athletes,” Taliaferro said. “But for now, we’ll just keep doing what we are doing until we get enough money to help more people.”


Mission Statement

The Adam Taliaferro Foundation’s mission is to provide an educational resource for all medical personnel, coaches, athletic administrators, athletes and families. These injury recognition
and medical response procedures are vital to the successful recovery process of the individual.

It is also the intention of the foundation to provide grant funding for all football players who sustain this type of injury, and who will need to retrofit their lives to accommodate their ambulatory requirements.
