ABOUT TG4

​

The TG4 Foundation was born from the vision of NFL cornerback Thomas Graham, Jr., whose life has been shaped by discipline, mentorship, and an unwavering commitment to giving back. Born in Arizona and raised in California, Thomas’s journey was never just about football—it was about overcoming challenges, embracing purpose, and creating opportunities for others.

​

From a young age, Thomas was guided by a powerful support system: his father, and mentors like Coach John, Coach Henry, and two influential figures both known as Coach Brown. Together, they taught him that true success lies in service, not status. Their collective influence instilled in him a desire to give back—to become the kind of leader who reaches back and lifts others up.

​

Graduating high school in just three years while balancing a demanding athletic schedule, Thomas learned early on that success requires focus, sacrifice, and community support. The TG4 Foundation reflects that belief—championing youth to rise academically, physically, emotionally, and financially.

​

What makes TG4 truly unique is the passion Thomas brings to healthy living and financial literacy—two pillars often overlooked in youth development. Through his own commitment to a balanced, health-conscious lifestyle, Thomas has experienced firsthand how nutrition and wellness directly impact clarity, confidence, and performance. That’s why TG4 programming includes fitness training, mindfulness practices, and education on wholesome, nutrient-rich eating—equipping young people with the tools to build not just strong bodies, but strong minds.

​

At the same time, Thomas is a fierce advocate for financial education. He grew up watching families—often rich in potential—limited by a lack of financial knowledge. Determined to break generational cycles, he created TG4 as a place where youth and their families could learn to budget, save, invest, and plan for a future of independence and stability.
