Our IMPACT
Since its launch, the foundation has reached thousands of youth through football camps, school partnerships, and community initiative — creating lasting impact both on and off the field.
The Alex Highsmith Family Foundation is dedicated to empowering the next generation by building strong foundations in every area of life.
Through programs that focus on Physical Fitness, Nutrition, Athletic Preparation, Family Involvement, Academic Success, and Emotional and Social Support, the foundation creates opportunities for young people to thrive. These pillars reflect the values that shaped Alex’s own journey, and he believes they are essential for every person’s growth and well-being.
