Noah Lyles and his younger brother Josephus have embodied the spirit of giving back through their foundation, The Lyles Brothers Sports Foundation (LBSF), established in 2020. Committed to empowering young people through health and wellness initiatives, the LBSF provides motivation and financial support through collaborative efforts with local, national, and global partners. The foundation’s ethos extends beyond mere financial support; it delves into crucial aspects, such as mental health awareness, college preparation, anti-bullying initiatives, and stress management. As we reflect on this noble effort, did you know this is not the first time the Lyles brothers have done a special deed for school kids?

Initiatives by the Lyles Brothers Sports Foundation

Hailing from T.C. Williams High School, now Alexandria City High School, in Alexandria, Virginia, the Lyles brothers have consistently demonstrated their dedication to uplifting others. In the past, at the “Overcoming Obstacles” event on February 28, 2023, the Lyles brothers shared their journey and challenges.

Previously, they even hosted inspiring Noah Lyles‘ “Meet & Greet” events, held on September 7, 2021, at Alexandria City High School in Virginia, and on September 9, 2021, at Union Church in Glen Burnie, Maryland, enriching the lives of countless children in their community and beyond. As Noah Lyles paves his way to the Paris Olympics 2024, fans applaud Lyles for taking the time with such initiatives to build a brighter future for generations to come.
