Our Team

Formed in 2006 and established in 2011 led by NFL athletes, Joshua Johnson, Marshawn Lynch, and Marcus Peters. The Fam 1st Family Foundation has embodied the intrinsic family values of loyalty and leadership to impact the lives of Oakland’s disenfranchised youth. Through the transference of family values, the Fam 1st Family Foundation strengthens Oakland’s fractured community and provides critical aid to residents in need. Using football as a catalyst, Marshawn , Josh, and Marcus have remained connected to their community, setting out to change the trajectory of just one life at a time. Through persistence, resilience, and authenticity, the foundation has transformed the lives of thousands worldwide.
