Andre’s Mission

Why this foundation exists.

“The joy I felt scoring a game-winning touchdown — that’s the same feeling kids get from finishing a good book.”

His last name was Reed — but he never got read to, or even had books at home. He’s spent the last 16years making sure other kids don’t grow up the same way.
