A+B=CD Foundation (Academics + Basketball = College Degrees)

In collaboration with alumni such as myself, Patrick Mangan, Athletic Director and boys basketball coach at Frederick Douglass Academy, has put together a foundation to aid student-athletes in their preparation for college and life beyond.  Anyone that knows me well understands the love and dedication I have for Mr. Mangan and FDA as a whole.

It is hard for me to imagine my life had I not attended FDA.  While I wasn’t spending my days on the streets as a teenager, I was not the least bit focused on my studies or on maximizing my potential.  The guidance I received from the FDA staff, specifically from Mr. Mangan, continues to be invaluable.  I learned that while basketball can be a tool for success, combining it with a solid education provided me more opportunities than I ever dreamed of.  While I have yet to reach all of my goals, I can say with confidence I am doing well for myself, and see an even brighter future ahead.

With all of this in mind, I would greatly appreciate your support of FDA.  Please take a look at the document below to get a better understanding of the program, and check out the boys basketball video gallery.  If you like what you see and want to help other student-athletes propel their futures, please make a donation of any amount using the PayPal link provided.  I am also in the process of creating my own scholarship for a male and female student-athlete at FDA.  Email me if you would like more information.  Let's make a difference.
