NBA superstar Dwyane Wade and his charitable organization, “Wade’s World Foundation,” is launching a three-year partnership with the Sandals Foundation.

The two non-profit foundations “plan to launch programmes and initiatives to benefit youth in underserved communities in the Caribbean and Miami,” Sandals wrote in a statement.

Their first collaboration, “Game Changer,” will focus on providing access for underserved youth to planned sports, recreation, healthy lifestyles and family engagement, along with new camps, after school training and coaching sessions.

The programme will launch later this summer, Sandals said.

The move was announced as Sandals marked the five-year anniversary of the Sandals Foundation this week.
