For The Oscar Chaplin, III Foundation for Education & Athletics, we want to illustrate and encourage an understanding of how amazing the body can be as a tool and even as a vessel to do great things.

The namesake and the founding directors of this Foundation have been recorded in the annals for achievements and leadership in the sport of Olympic Weightlifting. Thus, there is likely no reason for surprise that the Olympic Weightlifting bar is the selected symbol for The Body, health, and athletics.

Since age 9, Diamond was involved in the sport of Olympic Weightlifting…for himself and later for the benefit if others. His unprecedented achievements as an athlete and as a coach will live on in the hearts of many.

For all the days of this organization, we will support physical and athletic goals toward a stronger and healthier society.

Romans 12:1 tells us we are to take care if our bodies and allow them to be used in God’s service…

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.

Also, I Corinthians 6:19-20 reminds us…

Do you know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies.
