Angel Reese, the star of the Louisiana State University women's basketball team, has just launched the Angel C. Reese Foundation to empower young girls and women to reach success in sports.
The Foundation aims to educate the new generation of women in the sports industry, provide financial literacy, and extend resources that will help them excel and transition into the real world. Angel Reese has prepared basketball camps, financial literacy programs, and scholarships that will be accessible to those participating in the organization. On top of that, the Foundation will host holiday events and ongoing community programming.
Angel Reese is no stranger to collecting a bag. Following her contribution to the Lady Tigers’ first national championship in April 2023, BLACK ENTERPRISE reported that she had scored multiple NIL deals, making her the highest paid of any player in the NCAA tournament. Her deals totaled to $392,000 per year with companies like Bose, JanSport, Xfinity, and more.
Recently, Mielle Organics chose Reese as their new face of the Black-owned haircare brand. To mark the launch of her Foundation, Reese has scheduled August 19, 2023 to host the “Back-to-School Giveback Block Party” at her alma mater, Saint Frances Academy in Baltimore. Reese will be giving out school supplies, backpacks, clothing, food, and living essentials to children in need in the community.
The Angel C. Reese Foundation will open doors for young girls to pursue their dreams. It will foster equity for girls and underrepresented groups, develop practical solutions to overcome systemic challenges, and provide comprehensive resources that empower a new generation of girls to succeed in sports and transition to the real world.
