About RL3 Foundation

Ray Anthony Lewis III, was the first-born son of Tatyana McCall Wimberly and NFL Hall of Fame Linebacker Ray Lewis. He passed away on June 14, 2023. He was a big personality and lover of life. “Ray Ray” as he was affectionately called, was a people person who loved all people unconditionally. He had a passion for his family, friends, and the children that he encountered on his life’s journey. He was a talented football player and aspiring musical artist, that used his ability to draw various groups of people together to bridge gaps and connect people through his humor and leadership.

 

The McCall-Lewis Family decided to continue Ray Ray’s legacy of love, impartiality and generosity to keep his memory alive. By establishing the RL3 Foundation, Inc., a nonprofit 501 c 3 organization. We strive to support those things Ray Ray was passionate about (children, football, and music), while also educating and supporting efforts on the prevention of those issues that impacted his life, Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) and related mental health issues.

 

We believe in the power of education and awareness to promote positive change. We are dedicated to providing support and resources to improve youth football safety, prevent CTE and related mental health issues, and encourage hope through music. The foundation will host its 2nd annual signature event Friday, May 30 - Sunday, June 1, 2025, called "Motivation Weekend" to motivate, educate, support, encourage, uplift, and affect change in the community.
