Education

Each year, the foundation hosts a signature Back to School Bash in Dillon’s hometown of Columbia, South Carolina, a vibrant community celebration where local students receive free backpacks, school supplies, and fresh haircuts to kick off the new school year with confidence

Youth Development

Through the Go for Broke (GFB) initiative, the foundation empowers youth to take chances, believe in themselves, and give their all no matter the challenge.

Community Engagement

The foundation is deeply invested in giving back to underserved communities. Through Holiday Givebacks, we bring joy to over 125 youth across South Carolina and New York. We further support communities through our rent assistance program which helps families facing financial hardship stay in their homes when they need it most.
