Angel Reese is a college basketball star on the rise. The LSU Tigers forward recently demonstrated her commitment to giving back to her old stomping grounds. She donated $12,000 to her alma mater, St. Frances Academy in Baltimore. This generous contribution will directly support the tuition of a student-athlete on the school's girls' basketball team.
The donation was a meaningful gesture to Reese. It was the same fund that provided her with financial assistance during her time at St. Frances Academy. Her mother posted about the donation on social media, noting her daughter's way of "paying it forward."
Reese's success in the sport is undeniable. She graduated high school as a top-five recruit in the class of 2020, alongside Caitlin Clark, her rival from the University of Iowa. This spring, Reese's rise to fame was cemented as the Tigers won the national championship and she was named Most Outstanding Player in the Women's Final Four.
To further her mission of empowering young girls and women, Reese established the Angel C. Reese Foundation. Participants have the chance to attend basketball camps and receive scholarships. Through this initiative, Reese hopes to provide comprehensive resources that encourage a new generation of athletes to reach their potential.
It has been a stellar year for Reese. Her NIL evaluation reached over $1 million, and she has secured numerous endorsement deals with TurboTax, McDonald's, Bose, JanSport, Xfinity, and Outback Steakhouse. Her Net-Income-from-Licensing ventures have earned her an estimated $392,000.
As Reese celebrated her 21st birthday, she was gifted a new car from Mercedes Benz of Baton Rouge. She proudly showed off her new wheels on social media, thanking the dealership and her sponsors for their support. It looks like Angel Reese is well on her way to becoming the Bayou Barbie!
