Our Future

Think of your greatest successes. Think of your best day ever...your best relationships...your greatest gift to your community. Somewhere, tied to each of these, you went the extra mile. And it paid off.

Going the extra mile is doing more than the normal...more than expected. Going the extra mile is extending ourselves in our efforts and our communication. Going the extra mile is getting back up after we've been knocked down, despite whatever has happened, and saying, "I still choose the very best for myself!"

The Extra Mile America Foundation is an organization that encourages positive attitude and action by reaching out to individuals, organizations, businesses, and schools. Through lectures, teleconferences, and social networks, we empower people to apply the extra-mile principle, reach their goals, and live a more self-directed life.

- About "Extra Mile America" -

The Extra Mile America Foundation is expanding on the success of the Extra Mile America Tour by continuing to spread the extra-mile message around the country. Our programs seek to maximize potential, possibility, and opportunity, and provide encouragement to those in need.

Our Extra Mile Day 2010 campaign is reaching out to local and national leaders and community members to build a nationwide celebration of extra-mile action-takers on November 1, 2010. On 11/1/10, 100 U.S. cities will participate in "Extra Mile Day" by acknowledging outstanding community members and reinforcing the message that great things happen when we go the extra mile.

The Extra Mile America Foundation also honors individuals and organizations through our annual Extra Mile American Awards, which are given to those that consistently create value in their communities. We also provide encouragement and tools for personal empowerment through our teleseminars and lectures, which offer valuable lessons in exploring possibility and creating opportunity, transforming tragedy or life setbacks into forward momentum, going the extra mile, and much more.
