About the Mike Miller Foundation

The Mike Miller Foundation has donated over 1.5 million in money and in kind donations to the Sanford Children's Hospital in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the Make-A-Wish Organization in both Tennessee and South Dakota, Houston High School Athletic Program in Collierville, TN. (Mike's wife, Jennifer, is teaching her volleyball skills that earned her All-American honors at the University of Florida to the Volleyball team at Houston High). Also, Jennifer donated her entire salary back to the Houston High Volleyball program. Mike and Jennifer have sent aid to both the Tsunami Relief Efforts and Hurricane Victims in the Gulf.

The Foundation is very proud to have helped the 5th and 6th grade girls basketball program from inner city Washington, D.C. With the help of the Mike Miller Foundation, the girls were able to participate in the national tournament held in Nashville, TN. The Foundation has and will continue to aid Mitchell High School in Mitchell, South Dakota (Mike's high school) and to AAU programs in both Memphis and South Dakota. Please contact Tom Miller at 605.996.5590 if you would like to donate money for these great causes.
