Former Blue Devil Cooper Helfet has partnered with IslandWood to create a new non-profit foundation called The Nature Project. This organization was founded to help under-served youth experience nature and participate in outdoor educational experiences.
This organization will join Helfet’s love for the outdoors with a service outreach project for children. He was recently featured in Seattle for taking 150 inner-city 5th graders on an outdoor trip with other professional athletes. Cooper Helfet is the Co-Founder and Co-Director of The Nature Project, and is working with other professional athletes, environmentalists, and philanthropists.
