About the Madieu Williams Foundation:
Because his mother recently passed away from a stroke, Madieu understands first-hand the severity of minority health issues. The Madieu Williams Foundation focuses on health, wellness, nutrition, fitness and education. Through his foundation, Madieu reaches out to youth and teaches them at an early age the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
Each summer, Madieu hosts a free football clinic for kids in the Cincinnati area. This free clinic provides youth the opportunity to work on their football skills, sportsmanship, and teamwork skills, while building self-esteem both on and off the field. This summer, the Foundation will be teaming up with Mercy Hospitals to provide free screening for kids at parents at the clinic.
In 2007, the Madieu Williams Foundation will build a playground in the Cincinnati area to get kids outside and active. KaBoom! will serve as the partner for this initiative. KaBOOM! is a national nonprofit organization that envisions a great place to play within walking distance of every child in America. Celebrating ten years of service in 2006, KaBoom! rallies communities to achieve better public policy, funding and public awareness for increased play opportunities nationwide; provide resources, including trainings, challenge grants, and publications for communities that wish to plan a new playspace on their own; and bring together children, business and community interests for a select number of community playspace builds each year.
In addition, Madieu will be teaming up with Mercy Health Partners this season to serve as the spokesperson for various screening and awareness programs. As a part of the program, he will visit local hospitals and community centers to about the importance of being screened.
