ABOUT
The 50 Sports Foundation, where we believe in the power of sports to change lives. Our mission is simple yet powerful—to provide youth with opportunities, exposure, and experiences that help them grow as athletes, leaders, and community members. Through mentorship, teamwork, and service, we inspire young people to dream big, work hard, and give back. Here, every child is encouraged to reach their full potential—and once they do, to turn around and help someone else do the same. Together, we’re building a movement of hope, opportunity, and impact—one game, one goal, and one life at a time.
OUR STORY
What began as a friendship between three young men at Lithonia High School has grown into a mission much bigger than themselves. Jordan, Cardinal, and Jimmie met as boys—teammates on the football field and students navigating their own paths—but over time they realized how powerful it was to have positive male role models guiding them along the way.
Each went on to attend college gaining exposure, resources, and experiences that shaped their futures. But they never forgot where they came from or the challenges they faced as student-athletes with big dreams but limited access.
After college, they reunited with a shared purpose: to create the same opportunities—and even greater ones—for the next generation. Today, all three coach at their alma mater, Lithonia High School, volunteering their time to uplift the program and community that helped shape them.
