Through his advocacy and partnership with organizations such as World Vision, Kelvin Beachum is breaking the mold of the stereotypical football player. His interest in humanitarian issues all started with a canned food drive in college and has blossomed into global efforts that are making real change. His hope is to inspire others to take action through advocacy, donations, and volunteering. Kelvin is passionate about ending hunger, providing clean water access, and fighting for education equity. He has worked tirelessly with food banks across the country in Texas, Pennsylvania, New York, Florida, and Arizona to combat food insecurity, specifically in rural areas. In 2018, his service earned him recognition as a nominee for the NFL's Walter Payton Man of the Year award — the league's most prestigious honor bestowed to an athlete who shows a tremendous commitment to serving others. He has traveled internationally to address the global water crisis and works tirelessly to provide access and opportunity to under-served communities. He believes food, education, and access to clean water are basic human rights.

"The world is going through a lot right now. Anything that someone can do to bring light to it -- that's impactful. Let’s be a country that’s empathetic. We know the problems facing this country. It's time to band together to be the solution." — Kelvin Beachum
