Louisiana State University women’s basketball star Angel Reese has launched the Angel C. Reese Foundation to empower young girls and women to reach all-around success in sports. According to Essence, Reese’s foundation aims to educate the new generation of women in the sports industry, provide financial literacy, and extend other resources through the organization.
“The Angel C. Reese Foundation will aim to foster equity for girls and underrepresented groups through innovative and impactful initiatives, develop practical solutions to overcome systemic challenges and provide comprehensive resources that empower a new generation of girls to excel in sports and successfully transition to the real world,” according to a statement obtained by Essence.

The LSU Lady Tigers small forward has prepared basketball camps, financial literacy programs, and scholarships that will be accessible to those participating in the organization. Reese’s foundation will also host holiday events and ongoing community programming.
