The DeAngelo Williams Foundation
The DeAngelo Williams Foundation (DWF) is the official charity founded by DeAngelo Williams, former NFL running back of the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Carolina Panthers. DeAngelo started the DWF in 2006 in honor of his mother and four aunts that all passed away from breast cancer. Our main focus is to spread breast cancer awareness and education in hopes to one day eradicate this disease. In Dec 2014, DeAngelo started 53 Strong for Sandra in Charlotte, NC, an initiative in which the DWF funds 53 mammography screenings for people who are uninsured or under-insured. In addition to the screening events, DWF also covers the cost of follow up appointments and treatments when needed and when breast cancer is discovered. By 2017, DWF expanded the outreach of 53 Strong for Sandra by funding mammograms in Pittsburgh, PA and Memphis, TN while continuing service in Charlotte, NC. DeAngelo hopes to expand to other cities with the ultimate goal of reaching all 50 states!
