Beyond the Bell: Partner Spotlight: No Athlete Left Behind

This fall, our Beyond the Bell campaign continues to highlight organizations making a lasting impact on children and communities. We’re honored to partner with No Athlete Left Behind, a nonprofit founded by former NFL veteran Lee Smith.

No Athlete Left Behind exists to ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive both on and off the playing field. Through mentorship, training, transportation, nutrition, and life resources, the organization breaks down barriers for underprivileged youth and prepares them for tomorrow’s challenges. At its heart, the mission is about more than sports, it’s about building confidence, character, and future leaders.

Lee’s story and passion for second chances inspires the work his team does every day. By combining faith, football, and family, No Athlete Left Behind is helping children rise above circumstances and discover their full potential.

At Altar’d State, we love partnering with organizations whose mission beautifully reflects our own commitment to serving others and giving back. Lee and his team’s passion for children is contagious, and the hope they bring to families in their communities inspires us every day. Supporting No Athlete Left Behind through Beyond the Bell reminds us why we do what we do, to use fashion as a force for good and to create lasting change.

We are grateful for the opportunity to come alongside No Athlete Left Behind in their mission and excited to see how together we can continue fueling futures and shining light.
