The mission of the Isaiah Whitehead Foundation is to inspire the lives of children and promote education, health, and social skills through sports for kids in underprivileged and underserved communities

Lets Get Better Together

“Basically, what I try to do is show them the way – help them out. I came from here, I lived here my whole life, so I know what this is about.”— Isaiah Whitehead

“It was actually just a barbeque at first,” said Whitehead, offering a few moments in between constant, joyful interaction with his hometown supporters. “We had free food for everybody and the whole community came out. Now we’re here.”

“My community means everything to me,” Whitehead says about giving back. “To be able to provide a fun day with a cookout and great basketball is just a small way for me to say thank you for all of their support that they have shown me.”

“It’s definitely huge for the kids to know that someone out here is rooting for them,” said the Lincoln High School class of 2014 alum at his cookout. “Basically, what I try to do is show them the way – help them out. I came from here, I lived here my whole life, so I know what this is about.”
