Achieve Greatness

Achieve Greatness

A dedicated basketball coach, passionate sports enthusiast, and beloved Son lost to fentanyl poisoning, Andrew received fentanyl-laced marijuana given to him by someone he knew; he did not know it was laced.

Please join our cause where we believe raising awareness and preventing tragedies like ours should be a prerequisite, not an afterthought. Together, through sports and education, let's fight against the dangers of all street drugs that are currently being laced with synthetic fentanyl while ensuring a safer community for all, especially our youth.

Who Are We?

Achieve Greatness is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, community-based, boots-on-the-ground organization initially started by our beloved son, Andrew, to train and educate people of all ages on basketball skills. After Andrew passed, his parents formed it into a non-profit to not only provide skill training but also to educate on the dangers of fentanyl in the community. Achieve Greatness is a culmination of his love for basketball and his dedication and passion for working with kids of all ages.

Unfortunately, Andrew’s life was cut short at 33 years old in March 2022 due to fentanyl poisoning. He was given marijuana by someone he knew, but he didn’t tell him the marijuana contained fentanyl.

In memory of our beloved son, Andrew, we are carrying on his legacy through Achieve Greatness while promoting awareness about the dangerous reality of fentanyl exposure in our communities around the country.

Additionally, we are here to bring kids & young adults together, not just with basketball but also through educating the public on the extreme dangers of new tactics to harm our children and loved ones through unknown laced exposure to this lethal drug.
