Financial Literacy

With a renewed energy and focus on health top of mind for many as we enter the new year, the LeBron James Family Foundation is already focusing in on fine tuning financial health supports for our families.

Welcome to House Three Thirty

As the LeBron James Family Foundation works to redefine what a community and family looks like, we continue to break through barriers and open doors for the students and families in Akron.

Spreading Cheer

In good times and bad, it’s our partners and our promises that pull us through. And when we’ve hit a collective low, they are there to bring us right back up.

Champions of Change

A champion who never forgot where he came from. A champion who never walked alone.  A champion of change

I PROMISE Out NOW!

“To the kids that started it all, my I PROMISE families in Akron. These promises are for you, and I hope they may be helpful to every student, classroom, and family across the country. You all inspire me each and every day!

Redefining Community

Community comes in all shapes and sizes. Some communities are close in proximity while others are more spread out. Some rally together, some stand alone.

Seeing Is Believing

Think back to a holiday memory from when you were young. What we remember most likely isn’t a particular present or number of gifts received. It’s more likely to be a smell, a moment, or an interaction that made a mark on our memories.
