From 2021 to 2024 alone, the Foundation awarded over $23,000 in scholarships to African American college students, provided 25 free iPads to college-bound youth, and funded college immersion experiences for more than 200 students. 

In healthcare, over 525 individuals received cancer screenings, with 16 lives saved through early detection and 2 hospital referrals for high blood pressure identified during preventative screenings. The Foundation also supported pediatric cardiac and cancer care programs and helped establish one registered organ donor. Through nine weeks of free youth summer camps, four community youth programs, and a 95% reinvestment rate into programs and sustainability, the Foundation continues to honor its mission of equity, access, and lasting impact.
