Wade's World Foundation Wade's World Foundation provides support to community-based organizations that promote education, health and social skills for children in at-risk situations. Dwyane was inspired to start the foundation because he wanted to give back to underserved communities and support issues of purpose. "I can't just let basketball define who I am and what I am supposed to become," said Wade. "Like my mother always tells me, '[My life] is bigger than basketball.'" Since 2003, Dwyane and his family have been dedicated to giving back to their core communities in the Chicago and South Florida areas through a variety of community outreach programs. As the WWF continues to develop and expand, the mission is to touch young lives around the globe.
