First and Five Foundation

First and Five was born out of Reggie and Michelle's desire to give young ladies and gentleman the gift that they received as teenagers; someone who cares. They attribute a portion of their success to individuals that simply took the time to show interest in their lives and the goals that they set for themselves. They believe that at every crucial moment of their young lives God placed a key individual to take their hand and lead them in the right direction. It is their dream to do the same for others.

They began fulfilling their dream in 2008, when they established First and Five Foundation. Since then they have developed many relationships with other organizations and touched many young lives through mentorship and tutoring programs in addition to providing scholarships to students.

Reggie has embraced a small group of 3 young men whom he personally mentors and meets with often. He hopes that he's having an impact on their lives but is certain that their drive and youthful energy encourages him.
