Because i Can Foundation

taking can't
out of our vocabulary

The Because I Can (BIC) Foundation, founded by Jason and Danielle Hooey in Houston, Texas, was incorporated in 2023 with a mission to empower both youth and adults to realize and pursue their full potential by eliminating the word “can’t” from their vocabulary. What began in 2021 as motivational speaking, supported by a pin of affirmation as a visual reminder to bet on oneself, has since expanded into hosting community events, nationwide trips of exposure, and impactful public speaking engagements. Through these initiatives, BIC remains committed to fostering personal growth, confidence, and limitless opportunity. Together, we strive to create a world where every individual embraces their potential because they CAN achieve anything.

OUR PLATFORM

PHILLIPIANS 4:13

We believe that while we are all created equally, creativity is the defining trait that makes us unique. Creativity is not confined to artistic expression—it’s a powerful tool that helps us solve problems and perform at our highest levels. It identifies what sets each of us apart; it’s the way we approach challenges in our own special way, pushing us to think beyond limitations. When we say we “can’t” do something, it’s simply a sign we haven’t tapped into our creative potential to find the solution only we are capable of. Creativity is imagination, and imagination is believing in something greater than what’s right in front of us. And what better to believe in than ourselves? Our mission is to help people realize their potential and elevate through creativity. By engaging the arts and providing exposure to new experiences, we aim to inspire youth to discover their own unique path to success.
