The development vision of the Foundation began with President, Rev. Dr. Julius R. Scruggs.  Through a discussion with Rev. Dr. Larry B.

In January 2015, an enhancement design for a Men’s Health page was prepared to be added to the website to promote awareness to focus on the month of June which is Men’s Health Awareness Month. The concept of Pray, Plan, and Partner Up (3 Ps) was utilized to encourage a brother to pray, encourage a brother to plan to lead a healthy lifestyle, and partner up with a friend and encourage them to workout.  Pastor Carlos D. Williams, Dr. Marcus D. Davidson, Dr. Cedric L. Perkins, and Pastor Daryn David Crenshaw were selected to participate in the public service announcement promotion videos.

In 2016, we continued to work with our collaborative partners providing and developing new innovative approaches to improve men’s health and their well-being.  We desire to invest in the long lasting benefits to assist men and women to make better choices in family planning decisions regarding their health.  We are working to develop focus group ministries within churches to improve awareness in nutrition and fitness utilizing pharmacists, doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers.  National USA Foundation, Inc. will utilize pertinent and effective resources to inspire and empower people to take action in their own lives.

On June 21, 2016, during the board of directors meeting in Tampa, Florida a discussion ensued to make sure that others understood our mission, vision, and to know who we are.  Later that afternoon, Dr. Daryn David Crenshaw, Dr. Marcus D.
