Washington Redskins linebacker Lorenzo Alexander is giving back in a major way with his A.C.E.S. Foundation whose mission is to support the youth by encouraging self-Accountability, pride in the Community, and Educational excellence while promoting a healthy mind and body through Sports. Alexander started the foundation a few years ago in Oakland, California.
One of the programs A.C.E.S. offers include two-hour workshops to help students get through high school in addition to preparing for higher education. The workshops will assist students with college entry requirements, SAT preparation, test-taking strategies, scholarships/financial aid, and so forth.
In addition, there are Life Skill Accountability workshops that will provide students with the resources to live healthy lifestyles and make good life decisions. Some of the workshop highlights include health and nutrition, peer pressure, money management, and sports psychology.
Along with hosting its Third Annual Celebrity Bowling Benefit on March 26 in Albany, California, the foundation will also host the “Hold the Line” Youth Camp later this summer. This youth camp will be free to 150 kids, ranging in age from eight to 17.
