ABOUT US >> MISSION & GOAL PRESS RELEASE
The ProPops Foundation
Dwyane Wade Sr.’s take on family, fatherhood, and raising a Pro Kid Miami’s Pro-Pops Foundation (PPF) is the brainchild of
Dwyane Wade Sr., a man whose lanky frame and long fingers lend him the easy-going athleticism of someone used to lots of
high-fives and pounds on the court. Mr. Wade’s passion for basketball still lands him at the court at least once a week.
Also, these days, Dwyane Wade Sr. finds himself devoting most of his energy to the role as Founder and CEO of the
ProPops Foundation, a Chicago-based nonprofit organization, with several chapters in Miami FL., ST. Louis MI., Madison
Wisconsin, and Liberty Mississippi, designed to allow fathers to reach out and help their children, families, and to bring
fathers back into the forefront of the family which has been missing for far too long.
The idea for ProPops came about from a simple observation:"Every family needs a good father, every father deserves to
have a good family and for the sake of humanity we need fathers to be good role models for the sake of our future
generations." This philosophy is the cornerstone of ProPops' efforts to reclaim the positive role of the father by
providing life skills and leadership training to men, women, boys and girls. Launched on Father's Day in 2008, ProPops
gives fathers the opportunity to give back to the next generation and set an excellent example for how the involvement of men in the lives
of children is crucial to our future. Services provided by the ProPops Foundation run the gamut, including assistance for families that
cannot afford medical and dental expenses and scholarship awards for youth that excel in school academics as well as succeeding
in ProPops organization. Also, Propops is awarding scholarships for fathers who are performing over and above
ProPops expectations. Yes, you heard right—scholarships for fathers. For Mr. Wade, fatherhood education and development
is central to his mission to improve the life of kids. That’s why ProPops aims to provide resources to fathers, to help them
further their education and create a better environment for their families. And then there is the All-Year Round Sports Camps.
It stands to reason that the father of arguably one of professional basketball's best players would offer one of the best all-year round
sports clinics for kids in the country. ProPops sports clinics are located in Miami, Chicago, Wisconsin, ST. Louis, and
Mississippi .These clinics are a critical part of the organization’s overall mission to bring fathers and their families closer. The
camps cover sports fundamentals and incorporate leadership and life skills training in areas such as conflict resolution,
leadership training, and drug and alcohol prevention.
During the season, ProPops continues its efforts to bring fathers and their children closer together and promotes healthy living.
The Raising a ProPops Kid Program is at the core of the organization’s mission. “Every father has a unique perspective
on the ingredients of rearing a child who has the potential to reach the pinnacle of their life endeavors.” ProPops leverages
these resources to help students develop the character, integrity, strong work ethic, and discipline required to be
successful in any walk of life. Not everybody can go pro, but if Dwayne Wade Sr. has his way, anyone’s child can be a
ProPops Kid.
A quote from Dwyane Wade Sr. “Fathers our flight in life has only just begun, but never to end.”
