Since our inception, Athletes First has become one of the premier sports agencies with a client roster featuring: Aaron Rodgers, Ray Lewis, Reggie Wayne, Clay Matthews, John Lynch, Chip Kelly, Jamaal Charles, Earl Thomas, Steve Young and many more.
One of the core principles of Athletes First is a focus on giving back to the communities around us. Through our work with Orangewood and other organizations, Athletes First and our clients have raised millions of dollars for charities throughout the world.
Orangewood FoundationOrangewood Foundation is a private, nonprofit organization. Founded in 1981, it is one of the leading providers of services to current and former foster youth in Orange County. Through programs focused on basic needs, housing, life skills & employment, and education, the Foundation prepares foster and community youth to reach their greatest potential. Recognizing that nearly 50% of foster youth do not graduate from high school, in 2013 the Foundation opened Samueli Academy, a free charter high school for community, under-served and foster teens.
Last year alone Orangewood Foundation scholarships helped 260 former foster youth attend colleges and universities throughout the United States. Beyond its programs, for thousands of foster youth, Orangewood means "family," "opportunity" and "hope." In its 35 year history, Orangewood has given thousands of these youth the opportunity to thrive and prosper.
