The Michael Kel Williams Foundation was born from something deeply personal: “A father’s love for his son and a vision for a better future. Founded by Michael Williams II, a former Division 1 athlete at Bethune-Cookman University, the foundation is rooted in discipline, resilience, and commitment to serve others beyond the game.

Named after his son, Mykel “Kel” Williams, the mission is simple but powerful: to uplift and support single-parent families, the ones who often carry the greatest responsibilities with the fewest resources.

What began as a desire to give back has grown into a movement focused on real, hands-on impact. From providing meals during school breaks, to hosting community outreach events and offering mentorship, the foundation meets families where they are, and helps them move forward.

We don’t just believe in support, we believe in transformation.

Every program is designed to help families not just survive, but rise. To break cycles. To build stability. To create legacy. Because when you strengthen a family, you strengthen a community. And when you invest in a child, you change the future.
