About

Mission Statement:

Our foundation is dedicated to raising awareness about kidney cancer, with a special focus on early detection among African American men. We work to educate communities, reduce stigma, and promote proactive health management. In addition, we empower inner-city youth in Metro Detroit by providing scholarships to participants in sports and gaming clubs. Through health advocacy and youth development, we strive to build healthier communities, inspire the next generation of leaders, and create meaningful opportunities for growth."

Vision Statement

"We envision a world where health awareness drives meaningful action—where African American men are empowered to prioritize their kidney health, and where the youth of Metro Detroit are equipped to thrive through access to sports, gaming, and leadership opportunities. Through education, engagement, and community support, we strive to build a future where wellness, empowerment, and opportunity are accessible to all."

Keith’s Legacy

"Keith’s spirit, humor, and joy will continue to inspire us and live on forever in our hearts. He had a unique way of making everyone feel seen, heard, and valued—whether through his infectious laughter, his unwavering kindness, or the lightness he brought into every room. His legacy is not only in the memories we share but in the love and laughter he left behind. Though he may be gone from our sight, his presence remains with us—in our stories, our smiles, and the way we choose to live with compassion and joy, just as he did."
