Letter from Founder, Greg Bell

As I reflect on the journey that led to the inception of Athletes for Life™ Foundation, I am filled with a profound sense of purpose and gratitude. Our mission to mentor youth and empower them to pursue their dreams has been deeply rooted in my own personal experiences, particularly in the formative years of my youth.

 

From a young age, I was fortunate to have mentors who believed in me and guided me toward realizing my potential. Their unwavering support and guidance shaped my aspirations and instilled in me the importance of paying it forward. I witnessed firsthand the transformative power of mentorship in navigating the challenges of adolescence and charting the course toward a fulfilling future.

 

This profound impact ignited the spark within me to create a platform where young minds could access the guidance and support they need to thrive. Through our programs and initiatives, we strive to cultivate a culture of mentorship that promotes personal growth, resilience, and a sense of belonging. Our ultimate goal is to help kids find their dreams and equip them with the tools, resources, and support system necessary to achieve those dreams. 

 

As we continue to expand our reach and impact, I am reminded of the

countless lives that have been touched and transformed by the power

of mentorship. Whether it’s providing educational services, career

guidance, or simply being a listening ear, we are committed to

walking alongside every child on his or her journey toward success.

We are so proud to be celebrating our 35th anniversary this year.

 

Together, let us continue to inspire, empower, and uplift the next
generation of leaders, innovators, change-makers, and tomorrow’s
NFL stars.

 

Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey.​​
