The Ed Reed
Foundation has had tremendous success since the begging of its time in 2001.
The Ed Reed Foundation does over 20 charitable events per year with the purpose
to improve the lives of our nations youth.
All of the events that the Ed Reed Foundation has taken part in have
achieved greatness and will continue to in the future. I believe that the two
main events that have had the largest impact on the foundation would have to be the Annual Charitable Golf
events that take place in New Orleans, L.A. and Baltimore, M.D. and when the
foundation started to donate to the Big Brother/Sister of Maryland, to the
Leukemia and Lymphoma society and to the NephCure Foundation of kidney disease
research.
The charitable
golf events that take place in New Orleans, L.A. and Baltimore, M.D. have had a
great contribution to the overall stellar performance that the Ed Reed
Foundation has had. The two events combined raise over 6,550 dollars that
provide nearly 500 families with the necessary food, water, and shelter to make
it through the holidays. What people don’t realize is that time off from school
for some families is more filled with struggle that the holiday spirit. Kids
that are impoverished will receive two
free meals daily from the school they attend. While on holiday break they don’t
get these free meals and will have to rely on their parents for the food. The
Ed Reed Foundation helps to insure that kids will still receive he necessary
nutrition while on their holiday breaks.
Giving donations to the
Big Brother/Sister of Maryland, to the Leukemia and Lymphoma society and to the
NephCure Foundation of kidney disease research have also helped distinguish the
Ed Reed Foundation as a unique organization. The fact that the Ed Reed
Foundation not only helps tens of thousands of children each year, but it also
donates to other organizations/foundations makes it a one of a kind foundation.
Ed Reed and the rest of the group donate more than 14,500 dollars each year to
all three of the groups saving and helping countless amounts of children each
year.
Although
the events I have talked about have had some of the greatest impacts on the Ed
Reed Foundation, these events could and probably will have just as much of an
impact on the children this foundation is trying to help; Annual Football Camp
for Children ages 7-17 in New Orleans, LA and Baltimore MD, Fitness Day at Booker
T. Washington Middle School in Baltimore, MD and Fitness Day at The Seed School
of Maryland in Baltimore, MD. All the members of the Ed Reed Foundation are
very excited for the upcoming events and they can’t wait to help change these
poor kids lives.
Although
I am not currently donating/contributing to the Ed Reed Foundation, I believe
that I will in the future. The great thing about the Ed Reed Foundation is that
you can donate your time or money to the Foundation. I plan to volunteer at Fitness
Day at the Seed School of Maryland in Baltimore and I plan to make financial contributions
to the great Foundation Ed and his companions have created.
