LeBron James

Founded in 2004, the LeBron James Family Foundation (LJFF) empowers children and single-parent households through innovative programming and initiatives, strengthening the ties between family members and building hope through education, physical fitness and better health for those dealing with adversity. Among the foundation’s most important national programs are the Playground Build Initiative, in partnership with State Farm®, which is focused on developing family-centered safe play spaces where children can be physically active in a multidimensional environment that encourages creative play; and “Meal & a Movie” events, in partnership with the Coca-Cola Company, which provide disadvantaged families with the opportunity to spend quality time together enjoying a special meal and viewing a not-yet-released family-friendly movie. The LJFF has also partnered with Nickelodeon to encourage kids to be physically fit and environmentally aware with the “Big Green Help” Initiative.

  1. When we stand tall it is because we stand on the shoulders of our ancestors.
    Thanks, for standing tall, LeBron

  2. At your young age & accomplishmants & material means, you have made it and you might be able to help our 24th annual grand convention of the University of the Philippines Medical Alumni Society in America (UPMASA) to be hosted by Indiana-Kentucky-Ohio-Tennessee (IKOT) Chapter at Gaylord Opryland Hotel & Convention Center, Nashville, TN (The VOLUNTEER State) on July 1st-5th, 2009. It has become a family trip for most attendees with the parent/doctor attending the continuing medical education (CME) while the young ones enjoy the Exhibits & the amenities in the area. The welcome reception & the gala night showcase the non-medical talents of the parent/doctors serving as inspiration to their children. I have been planning to invite a model in the four-state compnents of our IKOT Chapter and you have been there on top for the state of Ohio. Could you grace our convention and be an inspiration for our young ones while we, the young once can get your autograph as well as receive your sponsorship to our barely four-year old Chapter which I formed in 2005 after 12 years’ labor of love in 2005. Come & join us and see the Filipino medical community volunteerism with the whole family. All we can offer you is one of the first UPMASA Volunteer Certificates which we are offering for the first time, very appropriate in Tennessee, the VOLUNTEER State. The IKOT Chapter-UPMASA can later on be partners with your Foundation’s goals. BTW, just like you & tiger Woods, I was also born on December 30th, but much, much older. I can send a formal letter of request and the levels of sponsorship if I can be given your Foundation’s e-mail address or postal mail. This sounds late for our date of July 1st-5th, 2009 since all our applications for educational grants were denied by the pharmaceutical industries.

  3. CHANGE BOTTOM UP
    UNIFY / UNIFORM / UNITED

    Mr. Le Bron James
    2009 MVP

    Since 1985 the development of Safe Kid Club was based on events surrounding the Atlanta child murders. I feel that the program in place now is the best program available. Please view the information provided. Change from the bottom up; our kids, America’s kids. I have been in photography for 34 years. In 1985 until 1991 I did a weekly article for Akron Beacon Journal called Stark County Neighbors, the same article later changed to County Lines. Currently the public is buying into I.D.’s in parents/guardians wallets. My program offers the following: media page, police page, a medical page and a home page with local safety numbers. Slogan: Your foresight may be the light during a child’s dark moment. This is the first program directed at media ready. The media pays attention to two things; money and public appeal in numbers. Parents/guardians have jumped into other programs. It’s time they leap into something better and safer. As a sponsor, your information and or logos would be placed in appropriate area on the Safe Kid Club form. I also make military dog tags. Why? It’s the oldest form of ID in the United States. Red tags for special medical alerts. Medical inserts are also available for extensive medical histories. I have directed a similar letter to the CEO of both Head Start Program & Boys Scouts & Girls Scouts of America. I would like to pose a question. Are you familiar with any programs currently able to use mass communication in the event of a missing person report? Are you familiar with a program that has a law enforcement page? Are you familiar with a program that offers a medical page / inserts for medical histories such as extended history, prescription history, allergy history and also a home safety page with icons to identify emergency phone numbers? Please view samples of PDF above you could turn kid safety into a historic treasure. Mr Le Bron James, will you please make a comment concerning my efforts for kid safety? America’s Kids’ ! A missing alert in a family would be like losing light after light in a home without control you find yourself without hope without direction. No other program gives a foundation for safety like Safe Kid Club compare the following Media Page , Police Page, Medical Page with inserts for long histories, and Home Safety for local first alerts. This public is filled with copy cats if it happens I’ll do it again. We must be examples of a new and better direction for kid safety. Uniform, Unify, United, these are not just words. A campaign base on kid safety is a very powerful tool with this one tool you can touch generation without trying. This program is the best safety program on the market any one thing about Safe Kid Club makes it much better than any other program being done. The way you put out mass communication is by having a format that is suitable for news organizations.

    Greetings!

    LeBron is a wonder asset to Akron and Cleveland. I know the area well as my father was from C. Falls and mother from Kent. Many summer days were spent in Akron – especially the Soap Box Derby! I don’t need or want anything from you except the opportunity to speak to a Foundation person to consider a possible donation. I hope to visit around Thanksgiving. PLease contact me ASAP.

  5. Greetings LaBron James Family Foundation,
    I am writing you in hopes of this foundation possible giving a donation to
    The Mount Pleasant Baptist Church. We at Mount Pleasant are striving to make a difference
    in the Kinsman Ave area. We sponsor many activities such as Community Day, and Coats for Kids. In my efforts to help, I thought this foundation could see it’s way as a co-sponsor
    in some charitable event, such as donating turkeys or maybe a financial contribution. It
    would be greatly appreciated and would go a long way for the cause. We think highly of LaBron and all he does for people. We hope to hear from you soon. Thank you for your in advance for your consideration.

    Sincerly,
    Ron Hamilton – Member, Mount Pleasant Baptist Church
    130009 Kinsman Ave

    To whom it may concern,

    I am having an event on April 10th, 2010 called Cleveland’s Got Sole. I had the event in March of 2008 and it was a great success. The event is a sneaker showcase for people that collect, wear, sell, and trade shoes. We had a great turnout for the last show and things are looking to be much bigger this time. Last time we were able to donate $2,500 to The Finish Line Youth Foundation. I was wondering if The Lebron James Family Foundation would be interesting in participating in this event and be willing to accept a donation from the proceeds of the event? Please contact me ASAP so we could get things finalized. I look forward to hearing from you soon and GO CAVS!!! Here is a link to the pictures from the first event.

  7. I would like to thank all the poeple at the LeBron James Foundation for all the work you have done for the community. I have made a website, http://www.keepthekingincleveland.com I know my opinion will not make a difference in LeBron’s decision to leave or stay. I just want him to know what an asset he is to all of Ohio. I also think it is rediculous the story I saw on the news last night. I personally believe those ladies have nothing better to do then complain and try to make a buck. They recieved a signed jersey and bascketball, but not enough…. I don’t think they should have even got that. It makes me sick how people think they are entitled to things they never worked for! LeBron is an amazing athlete who obviously worked really hard to get where he is. I applaued him for that! He deserves it all and more.
    Again, I respect everything you do for the community and will always be a fan!! Keep up all the great work!!! Best wishes, to you, your family and everyone involved in the LeBron James Family Foundation!

    Brehm Preparatory School basketball team excels athletically but the players are hampered by severe learning disorders. Brehm empowers its students to overcome adversity through a personalized, intense education developing the whole person. LeBron, you are their hero, an excellent role model for the players. What [they] see also is the human side of you. The caring. Brehm’s reputation attracts students from throughout the world, internationals not just basketball players. I am a retiree, a trustee who has witnessed the change our school makes in the lives of these handicapped youth. I am merely trying to hustle money, financial support for the team to travel to destinations where the really good teams play. our Robotics team, Megahurts were Sliver Medalists in national competition this year. See what I mean about developing the whole person.
    I am forwarding a letter introducing you to the athletes together with their schedule. No high schools in this area can challenge our guys. It takes money to travel. I am hopeful The Foundation can see the value of providing some financial support for basketball. Thank you.

    Mr. Le Bron James,
    Greetings!
    I know your foundation give support in different direction that i am demanding. With this very new year i want you to support me with new area. I am supporting freely children with autism and there is only one single institution here in Ethiopia. I still want to help those who cant afford to go to that institution with speech therapy to intervene their problem early. There are a lot of children looking for this opportunity. My personal resource is very limited and i am kindly asking you to support me.
    Sincerely,
    Belt Tadesse
