About Five.12
From Small Beginnings.

Five.12 Foundation is a not for profit foundation based in Alpine, Utah committed to the idea that anyone can take part in changing the lives of the people around them even if they only have little. For us it started with a young girl giving all that she had, $5.12, to help save the life of someone she barely knew. That experience has given us a greater perspective on our ability to make the world a better place. We consider “the worth of each soul” to be great and equal throughout the world and are constantly looking for new ways to use what we have to bless the lives of others.
