In addition, Athletes Helping Kids has developed a school assembly program where retired NFL players go into high schools and speak to the children, emphasizing the importance of education, staying in school, as well as abstinence from drugs, alcohol, and gang violence.

Since its inception in 1993, Athletes Helping Kids has visited over 106 schools through its assembly program and has put on 51 non-contact football clinics. The clinics were located from New Jersey to Hawaii, Washington to Oklahoma City and everywhere in between. Athletes Helping Kids has reached over 107,000 children. Since 1999 the foundation has done nine clinics for the children of the U.S. Army, four with 25th Infantry Division in Hawaii, two with the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, one with U.S. Army of Alaska at Fort Richardson in Anchorage, one at Ft. Monroe in Virginia, and one at Ft. Lewis Washington.

April 11th, 1995, the Foundation met with United States Attorney General Janet Reno. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the Foundation's various programs, as well as programs that were in development. On April 19th, 1995, the Oklahoma City bombing happened. Four days later, the Foundation was called from the offices of victims of crime in the justice department and asked to go to Oklahoma and work with the children that were directly or indirectly affected by the bombing. Along with working with the children, the Foundation raised $240,000 for the Children's Educational Fund.

Athletes Helping Kids has donated two vehicles, a Chevy pickup truck and a Chevy Suburban to the Hawaii D.A.R.E officers association, purchase price $53,000. In addition, through our participation, with charitable auctions, and with our unique sports memorabilia, we have raised $ 896,593 for various youth organizations and charities.

Through our Foundation's essay contest, (1) "What an education means to me?" (2) "What it means to be drug free!" (3) "Peaceful solutions: how do we stop the violence?" and (4) "Living Aloha at Castle High School," 9,600 children have participated.

The Foundation has donated a total of over $100,000 in sports memorabilia that was given away to the children.

In keeping with its tradition of looking for new ways to help the children, the Foundation has undertaken its most daring project, refurbishing various parks and recreation centers for the children. Its first endeavor was Nickerson Garden Recreation Center in the heart of Watts in Los Angeles, California. The Foundation refurbished two existing basketball courts and added two new half courts with adjustable backboards. To succeed in a successful mission, Athletes Helping Kids has partnered with the Los Angeles Lakers Youth Foundation who also cares for children.

All of these facts are to reaffirm our commitment to the children.
