Taalib Pecantte

In loving memory and with heartfelt dedication, our nonprofit was founded in honor of Taalib Pecantte, the beloved 6-year-old son of our Founder, Coach Rich. Taalib's spirit, love for football, and the tragic loss of his young life served as the catalyst for the creation of this organization.

Taalib's memory lives on through the tireless efforts of T34 Grab 1 Teach 1, a living tribute to the passion he shared with his father for the sport of football. In establishing this nonprofit, Coach Rich channeled his grief into a powerful force for good, determined to create a positive impact in the lives of other children within underserved communities.

Every achievement, every life touched, and every lesson learned through T34 Grab 1 Teach 1 stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Taalib Pecantte. As we navigate the challenges and victories on the football field and beyond, we carry his spirit with us, inspiring us to uplift and motivate the youth, just as Taalib's memory continues to uplift and inspire us all.
