Welcome to the F(AMI)ly Thaddeus Bullard! 😊

We’re proud to announce that Thaddeus Bullard—former Arena Football player turned WWE legend and WWE Hall of Famer, known worldwide as Titus O’Neil—is joining AMIkids as our National Spokesperson, helping amplify our mission to empower young people to discover their full potential.

“I know what it feels like to be counted out. But when someone takes the time to believe in you and invest in your future, it can change everything,” Thaddeus shares.

Like many of the youth we serve, Thaddeus grew up facing obstacles that could have defined his future. What made the difference? Mentors, teachers, and community members who stepped in, invested their time, and believed in him when he needed it most.

Welcome to the AMIkids family, Thaddeus. Together, we’re helping more young people believe “I CAN.” 💙 Learn more about how you can get involved: https://amikids.org
