Our Mission
Our Mission
Every kid deserves the chance to chase their dreams. The L.A.K.E. Foundation supports healthy communities across North Texas through four pillars: easing food insecurity, developing youth through athletics, leading with kindness, and championing education.
WHO WE ARE
Adrian and Camille Phillips founded the L.A.K.E. Foundation in 2023. Adrian, a Garland native and NFL safety, grew up in the very community the foundation now serves. Together, they’re working to give local kids the same access to mentors, resources, and opportunities that shaped Adrian’s path.
The L.A.K.E. Foundation Pillars:
L — Lessening food insecurity
A — Athletics for youth development
K — Kindness in action
E — Elevating lives through education
“Ever since I was a kid, helping others has always been of major importance to me. I grew up hearing the phrase ‘it takes a village to raise a child,’ and I believe that 100%. I am a product of the environment that I grew up in and without my mentors, family, and friends, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Unfortunately, some kids do not have access to the same resources, mentors, and opportunities. This is why it’s important for me to help in any way that I can. My goal is to help create equal opportunities for every kid that has a dream. I hope after reading this, you take on the challenge as well. Every kid deserves the chance to chase their dreams. Let’s help them get there!”
