NO ATHLETE LEFT BEHIND

FOUNDED BY FORMER NFL VETERAN TIGHT END - LEE SMITH
Becoming the role model he needed
By the time Powell-native Lee Smith first stepped on the field as a professional football player, he knew a thing or two about second chances. The wayward tight end had already blown through 50 of them.
Lee’s dream to provide first and second chances to young athletes like himself started during his 11-year NFL career. Now retired, he’s putting faith, football and family first to become the role model kids in our community need.
