Community Involvement

TAAN partnered with the Texas Kidney Foundation to raise funds and awareness for chronic kidney disease. The two-day event Comedy for Kidneys featured comedians like Reginald Ballard, Brad Jordan, Cleto Rodriguez, and Courtney Jackson. Talent was coordinated by Vance Bradford, TAAN’s Co-CEO. Through sponsorships and fundraising efforts, TAAN played a key role in supporting the event. Vance Bradford also negotiated with the foundation to bring Reginald Ballard on as its ambassador.

Work is the New Hustle teaches children aged 6-17 basic life skills like money management, work ethic, and building relationships with law enforcement. Established in summer 2021, the program fosters stronger connections between kids and police officers, going beyond its initial mission.

This initiative aims to spotlight active individuals and networks within the minority community who have the power, resources, and influence to bridge economic and social gaps in sports and Corporate America. The next steps involve creating youth programs that promote inclusivity and offer opportunities for young people to learn golf from local pros, volunteers, and coaches.
