The purpose of the foundation is to provide funding and assistance to men, women and children from the rugby league community who have fallen on hard times.
[1] The concept for the foundation came about when Coote was visiting his daughter in hospital and by chance, ran into former St. George Illawarra Dragons captain Doug McRitchie, who was in the late stages of prostate cancer.
Coote told author Alan Whiticker that after seeing McRitchie alone in his hospital bed, he wondered why some of his teammates weren't with him or if they even knew of his illness.
[1] Following its inception, the foundation has provided help and assistance to hundreds of rugby league players around Australia.
