AT LEAGUE ASSISTS, WE BELIEVE IN CREATING A PHILANTHROPIC LEGACY. WE EXIST TO HELP ATHLETES, BRANDS, AND INDIVIDUALS CREATE LASTING PHILANTHROPIC AND CHARITABLE INITIATIVES THROUGH AUTHENTIC PARTNERSHIPS AND IMPACTFUL ACTIONS THAT REFLECT THEIR UNIQUE PASSIONS AND PERSONAL ETHOS.

I founded League Assists to address a gap I kept seeing in athlete-led philanthropy. Too often, good intentions turn into reactive moments instead of long-term impact. I believe community work should be built upstream, with the same clarity, creativity, and discipline that athletes bring to their careers.
Through League Assists, I partner closely with athletes and sports brands to translate personal values into thoughtful programs, partnerships, and philanthropic platforms that are built to last. The work is hands-on and collaborative, focused on designing impact that feels authentic to the individual while creating real, measurable value for the communities served.
At the core, my goal is to help athletes move beyond one-off gestures and toward creative, well-structured partnerships that unlock sustained community growth and a philanthropic legacy they are proud to stand behind.
Hi, I'm Dean, Founder & CEO of League Assists!
