“Dee” Pogue Foundation (DPF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a premier youth led/youth driven mentorship program. DPF has a 100% high school to college transition rate (in other words, every high school student who has completed the program has entered college)! Our organization focuses on S.T.E.M. education and is composed of young African American boys, ages 8-12. DPF’s mission is to develop adolescent boys into positive thinking young men through direct exposure and a 5-tier underpinning.
Five (5) is a symbolic number for DPF. It encompasses our tiers, shield colors, operations, thought process, transitions and now our race in 2025! The 5TH ANNUAL DPF 5K RUN/WALK is scheduled to take place on SATURDAY, JUNE 14TH 2025 @ 8:00AM CST. We welcome you to experience our flat terrain, USATF certified course surrounding Zinn Park at 101 W. 14th Street in Anniston Alabama. A portion of the proceeds from our 5K will go to deserving male high school seniors, in Calhoun County, AL, who need a helping hand with pursuing their dream of earning a college degree.
