The TURTLE Effect Foundation (TEF) is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization.

TEF's mission is to perpetuate Theodore “TURTLE” Wilson’s drive to help others persevere through their challenges in order to achieve their potential and to share their own gifts with confidence in a “pay it forward” manner.

TEF strives to accomplish this in two main ways:

Empowering talented and dedicated elite cyclists to pursue their goals through the annual bikeROCKstar scholarship. Cycling was a passion of Turtle Wilson’s, and one he shared with vigor among his friends and community. Through the Lt Col Theodore TURTLE Wilson Falcon Scholarship --an annual scholarship as part of a larger Falcon Foundation Scholarship which supports motivated young people seeking admission to United States Air Force Academy and subsequent career in the Air Force.
