Bodecker Foundation

The N M BODECKER CREATIVE FOUNDATION (“Bodecker Foundation”) was established in 2017 by Sandy Bodecker, Nike’s legendary VP of Special Projects, and by Tanya Cerda as a tribute to Sandy’s father, the award-winning author and illustrator N.M. Bodecker. He instilled a love and appreciation of the arts in Sandy and his brothers. Sandy’s chosen career path and significant professional accomplishments were directly impacted by his father’s support, encouragement, and artistic influence. Inspired by this profound legacy, the Foundation’s workshop, mentoring, and scholarship programs spark young people to realize their creative power through immersive learning experiences.
