WELCOME
When my sister, Christina, and I first decided to take on the challenge of creating our own foundation, we had no idea how many lives we could impact in such a short amount of time. In just six years, we’ve had more than a dozen athletes from many different athletic organizations participate in our yearly celebrity sports camps. More than 750 children and 200 adults have experienced our camps, leaving with unique memories, life lessons and, for the children, the motivation to do well in school.
What began as a small, once-a-year event in Montego Bay has now grown into an island-wide program that has received commendation from government figures, educators, parents and children. In addition to these camps, we’ve been able to provide school supplies, athletic gear, computer equipment and funding for many educational programs. I’d like to thank all those who have made this possible including the volunteers, professional athletes, teachers and school administrators, government representatives, donors and corporate sponsors. Most importantly, I’d like to thank my family who works hard 365 days a year to run this foundation.
I’m blessed to be in a position to help others, and hope to continue the strength and generosity of my grandparents through future endeavors.
One Love,
Andrew Bachelor
