Finding Inspiration in Every Turn

Founded by Dr. Robert Santee, former pitcher for the Houston Astros and his wife, Dr. Roschell Santee. Birth out of their own struggles an their passions for the community the Santee's made a vow that they will not stand by and see any child or family suffer at the hands of disease, poverty, or violence.

Our Story

As a young child Dr. Rev. Robert Santee suffered from polio. Bullied because he did not have use of his legs, it gave him a view of life as child he now shares as an adult. His wife, Dr. Roschell Santee shared the same values and ideas of her husband, but with her own story to tell she added to the mission. A survivor of domestic violence she wanted to bring awareness to the issue surrounding abuse and human trafficking. Out of their passions together they founded the Santee & Associates Foundation with the primary goal to SAVE-A-FAMILY.

​

Under the G.W. Wyatt Foundation, The Santee's worked to help bring awareness and educate the public on issues of bullying, domestic violence, and human trafficking. working in the community to bring about a change. After 7 years of working with the G.W. Wyatt Foundation. The Santee's were called to begin their own foundation independently with the mission to not just save one family but them all. With that calling came the vision and by partnering with community leaders, philanthropists, politicians, and organizations who share that vision, the Santee & Associates Foundation was birth and now for 20 years The Santee & Associates Foundation have been making many contributions to the community becoming a pillar amongst a small but growing community of leaders and activist who have been seeking real change in the community.​

​

​Here at The Santee & Associates Foundation we are Loading Bases and Hitting Home Runs by saving a family knocking the ball of Bullying, Domestic Violence, and Human Trafficking out of the park and sliding safely into home by creating a new life and world free of human violence. As Jesus came to be a servant, we are here to provide the same service to our community as servants to saving a family. Here at The Santee & Associates Foundation we will always be there to bring to you a smile and hope when you feel that there is none to be found.
