The Zero Two Hero Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which helps promote the safety and well being of children by raising funds to support organizations that aid in the preservation of families through foster care, adoption, and child welfare services, as well as helping the homeless.

The Zero Two Hero Foundation was established in 2005 by Gilbert Arenas. It was formed because Gilbert recognizes as we all do that all children are special and have unique talents-- even those children who, like Gilbert did, are growing up in challenging situations. LEARN MORE
