LeBron James Family Foundation Redefining community and building stronger families through education and a promise. 👑

With a commitment to redefining community and building stronger families, The LeBron James Family Foundation invests its time, resources and passion into creating generational change for the kids and families of James’ hometown in Akron, Ohio through a focus on education and co-curricular educational initiatives. With its foundational I PROMISE Program, LJFF serves more than 1,500 students and the

ir entire families by providing them with the fundamental resources, wraparound supports and family programming they need for success in school and beyond. In 2018, the Foundation partnered with Akron Public Schools to build all of its family-first programming and academic interventions into the groundbreaking I PROMISE School that has created a new model for urban, public education. The Foundation has layered in additional supports including higher education and family supports at the I PROMISE Institute, transitional housing at the I PROMISE Village, longer-term housing at the upcoming I PROMISE Housing, and several hands-on supports in between. These life-changing resources, combined with the Foundation’s “We Are Family” philosophy are re-defining what a family and community looks like.

Some people make you feel seen. Some people make you feel valued. Some people change your life. Mrs. Angel Whorton did all three.

As a founding staff member & intervention specialist at the I PROMISE School in 2018, Angel dedicated her life to loving, understanding, and advocating for students who needed her most. Her bright spirit, contagious smile, and unforgettable hugs made every person around her feel seen and valued. One of our students once described her perfectly as the “best part of my day, every single day.”

After years of courageously battling breast cancer, Angel’s strength, hope, and love continued to inspire everyone around her. As we celebrated her life this past weekend, we are reminded that her impact will live on through the countless students, families, and colleagues who were fortunate enough to know her. Her name was Angel, and she truly lived up to it, bringing light, love, and hope to every person whose life she touched.

Thank you, Angel, for showing us that the impossible is possible. You will forever be part of the I PROMISE family. 💙

Teamed up with and MrBeast for an unforgettable afternoon with some amazing kids from St. Baldrick's Canton! These kids are real life superheroes, and it was an honor to share the court with them, and even better to share our space at House Three Thirty to create incredible memories alongside their families.

Stand Up To Cancer and Beast Philanthropy have come together to raise awareness and fund critical pediatric cancer research and we’re proud to support this effort. Learn more at StandUpToCancer.org/MrBeast

When LeBron James handed over the keys to House Three Thirty, he wasn’t just welcoming six incredible kids inside, he was opening the door to unforgettable memories, shared joy, and a day that reminded us all what’s possible. 👏

We were honored to welcome Morgan, Ja Kauri, Andrew, Reyna, Benny, Bronx, and their families through MrBeast 100 Wishes campaign, in partnership with Stand Up To Cancer and St. Baldrick's Foundation Foundation. Watching the excitement, laughter, and joy fill every corner of House Three Thirty was a reminder that helping dreams come true is about more than granting a wish. It’s about creating moments that inspire hope, building memories that last a lifetime, and surrounding families with a community that believes anything is possible. 💚

When we opened the doors to I Promise HealthQuarters in July 2024, our goal was simple: deliver high-quality healthcare that puts families first. Two years later, that promise continues to make a difference. 🙌

As we celebrate our second anniversary, we’re proud to serve families across Akron and greater Summit County alongside our partners at AxessPointe Community Health Centers and Coleman Health Services. By offering primary care for both adults and children, mental and behavioral healthcare, dental, optometry, pharmacy and lab services under one roof, we’re removing barriers and making care more accessible. 😁🏥

Last year alone, the I PROMISE HealthQuarters team cared for 5,464 patients. Proof that compassionate, family-centered healthcare is changing lives every day. 💚

Confidence starts with taking the first step... or in this case, the first splash. 🏊 Thank you, Nike Swim, US Sports Camps & Firestone Swim for continuing to build on this critical life-saving skill for our students. Because swimming is for everyone. 🙌

Watching our I Promise School students grow in confidence never gets old. 💙

For the fourth straight summer, Nike Swim camp is helping our students learn a skill that can change lives. 🏊Throughout the week we saw first-time swimmers overcome their fears, returning swimmers step into leadership roles to help their peers, and our students discovered confidence they didn't know they had. 🙌
A special thank you to Nike, Firestone High School swim team, and US Sports Camps - NIKE Sports Camps for opening their doors and creating new opportunities for our kids. Because of experiences like this, our students aren't just learning how to swim, they're learning to trust themselves, believe in themselves, and realize they're capable of more than they imagined. 😊
