In 1996, the American League Rookie of the Year, Derek Jeter established the Turn 2 Foundation. It's goal is to reward youth who avoid drugs and alcohol, and to prevent and treat youth who have fallen victim to drugs and alcohol. This foundation continues to grow, and more and more youth are educated about substance abuse.
