Why “42 Strong”

42 Strong was created to honor the life and legacy of Tate Myre, a natural leader who wore the number 42 on the football field. But Tate’s leadership went far beyond sports—he consistently lived with trust, kindness, humility, and loyalty; inspiring those around him through both his actions and his character.

Inspired by Legacy. Built for the Future

Today, 42 Strong carries that spirit forward by building mentoring programs that help students grow stronger together. Just as Tate believed in lifting others up, our program empowers students to form meaningful connections, develop leadership skills, and create a positive impact in their schools and communities.
42 Strong isn’t just a name—it’s a commitment to becoming stronger, together.

42 Strong has shaped my three children in ways I never expected. It continues to teach them to look beyond themselves, to recognize when someone needs a friend. and to step in with kindness. It has given them a sense of duty-not because they have to, but because they want to. And these Tate Traits will live on in them. shaping who they are and how they move through the world for the rest of their lives.
