The holiday season is upon us, and sharing happiness is an integral part of the Christmas spirit. While some athletes are having the time of their lives amidst extravagant Christmas decorations, others are concerned about getting more people on board to celebrate the festivities together. Track and field star Noah Lyles seems to belong to the latter group.

Noah Lyles is considered an icon, and not just for his exploits as an Olympic sprinter. Doing justice to his status as an all-around star, even for reasons beyond the tracks, Lyles this time shifted his focus to ensure no one gets left out on the holy occasion of Christmas.

Noah and Josephus Lyles’ charity foundation spreads joy

Noah and his brother Josephus Lyles have often claimed that their goal is to be “the best there is“. However, they also believe that this achievement can only be made by helping the community grow as well. The siblings’ charitable organization, Lyles Brothers Sports Foundation (LBSF), is a non-profit that aims to spread more knowledge among underprivileged youth about sports to help them find their way. In its latest Instagram post, the LBSF has shared its recent activities bringing smiles to the faces of the local youth.

Partnering up with the likes of former NFL star Tony McGee and Rutgers faculty member Michael Dillard, the LBSF has amassed a considerable amount of toys ahead of Christmas. While the toys aren’t available for the eyes, the huge boxes are enough even to make us feel like how we did when we ripped open the wrappings on Christmas mornings as kids! Noah Lyles’ mother was also seen with all smiles. But what drove the youngsters to spearhead such a foundation?

A supportive family taught Lyles to share happiness

Noah and Josephus were born into an athletic family. Their early track and field training days were guided by their father, who had to struggle a lot throughout his professional career. Despite living in difficult financial conditions, the Lyles brothers grew up in a loving family, and their mother stood behind them like a rock.

It was this love and support that they received as children that helped them to decide to give back to the community after the Lyles siblings made it big. The LBSF was founded in 2020 to give underprivileged youths a chance to achieve what Noah Lyles has. With a strong focus on mental health, Lyles believes sharing joy is what makes good times even better.
