Dwyane Wade continues to put his name to good use. Today, he teamed up with The Sandals Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Sandals Resorts International (SRI), and announced Game Changer, an integrated sports program to benefit youth in underserved communities in South Florida and the Caribbean.

The announcement was made at Dwyane Wade’s 6th Annual Brand Wade Summit at Beaches Turks & Caicos Resort Villages & Spa (pictured here).  According to the press release,

"Monies raised through the three-year iconic relationship between The Sandals Foundation and Wade’s World Foundation will give underprivileged youth access to planned sports, recreation, healthy lifestyle and family engagement. Game Changer will also provide for the upgrading and refurbishing of 11 multi-purpose sports courts in the Caribbean and South Florida including one planned at the court at Marshall Williamson Park, located in the heart of South Miami, Florida."

 

Dwyanecommented why Wade’s World Foundation partnered to create the Game Changer program saying,

“South Florida is not only important to my Foundation, but it serves as a neighboring community to the Caribbean. The opportunity to partner with the Sandals Foundation was a natural progression to the work we do and affords us the chance to continue to expand our reach internationally providing today’s youth with safe and fun places to learn, explore and develop their potential.”

Adam Stewart, President of the Sandals Foundation and CEO of SRI, added,“We’re thrilled to create awareness for Game Changer with Dwyane Wade and Wade’s World Foundation and to officially get the program off the ground.  It’s the first time our Foundation has worked so closely with a celebrity, and while Wade’s enormous popularity means we can reach a wider audience with our message, it’s really his commitment to giving all kids a shot at a better life that makes the Foundation proud and honored to work with him.“

In other news....aside from sticking up for his wife Gabrielle Union during the nude pic scandal, Dwyane just unveiled his new line of Wade lifestyle shoes.
