You’ve seen it and you’ve (probably) watched it, that’s ESPN’s 30 for 30, if you haven’t caught on yet. But, now I’m going to throw a spin on it, since I’m no star athlete, at least in that sense, I’m hoping to raise $30,000 (yup, you read that right, 30k) during my 30th year on this (semi) green Earth (that’s all of 2024) for a cause near and dear to me, access to education. I’m planning to distribute scholarships to students from Detroit Public Schools, Cleveland Metropolitan School District, Columbus City Schools, School District of Philadelphia, The Ohio State University, and Temple University with your help.

$30K for 30, an ambitious, yet achievable, philanthropic cause to celebrate my 30th birthday

Please join me in making an impact on the lives of youth from Detroit, Cleveland, Columbus, and Philadelphia!

Why Detroit, Cleveland, Columbus, and Philadelphia?
Having lived in Detroit, Cleveland, and Columbus for 9 years each (you see the trend?), and Philadelphia going on 3 years, these are the places I call home, the spaces that have molded me into the man I am today. And I want nothing more than to give back to my communities and the youth who are following in my footsteps.

How can I support and make an impact?
The simplest way is to donate using one the below methods. With just 300 gifts of $100 we’ll reach the goal! But, if $100 is above your ability, please consider making a donation in any size, no amount is too small or large to make an impact.
