In 1992 under the direction of Tim O'Brien, the American Taekwondo Association established the H.U. Lee Foundation to honor its founder, Eternal Grand Master H.U. Lee. He was an extraordinary man and visionary who committed his entire life to making the world a better place through education, respect, and philanthropy. He had a love for people, especially children, and through his international martial arts organization, he helped make their dreams a reality.
The. H.U. Lee Foundation is a private, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of respect, discipline and courtesy through the martial art of Taekwondo. For almost 15 years, the Foundation has helped more than 100 young adults across the United States continue their education.
"For years and years, my father gave selflessly to those in need across the world. Now it is our turn to give back in the name of our Eternal Grand Master, the late Haeng Ung Lee. Through his motto, 'Today No Possible, Tomorrow Possible' he taught us to embrace and seize the future with faith, hope and tenacity to see our dreams come to fruition." -L. Taekwon Lee
