Welcome

My name is DeAndre Brown

As a former student-athlete that played football  at the Junior College, NAIA, and Division 1 level, I understand the needs and desires of aspiring student athletes wanting to play collegiate sports. I established Lace Up in 2019 to instill the necessary values to becoming successful on and off the field, to provide the tools to succeed in college socially, academically, athletically, and financially, and most importantly create well-rounded individuals that look to have a positive impact on our world. Lace Up will be an unlimited resource for young men and women to fulfill their potential from the moment they realize their desire for a post-secondary education until well after they have obtained their respected degrees.

As a recognized nonprofit in the state of Florida for doing philanthropic work and community building, we are now seeking 501c3 status so that our donors can receive the tax deductible benefits for their donations. We will update you as soon as our status has been updated!
