Mission Statement
Achieve Greatness was founded in memory of our beloved son, brother, and friend, Andrew, who passed away from fentanyl poisoning in March of 2022. Before Andrew’s passing, he was passionate about coaching and teaching basketball while helping youth in his community. He created Achieve Greatness, where he mentored youth through basketball.
In his memory, we have continued Achieve Greatness, building it into a nonprofit organization. Our mission is to continue to capture Andrew’s vision of sponsoring youth through basketball camps and other sports while also bringing awareness to and educating people about the dangers of fentanyl. In addition, we will also utilize our platform to address opioid use and addiction in our communities.
Andrew was raised in Ludlow and New Bedford, Massachusetts, and his family continues to have strong roots in both communities. Therefore Achieve Greatness will host and attend community events statewide. Through these activities and sports camp sponsorships, we will communicate this important message and help save lives:
