Origins:

REBUILD AFTER HURRICANE MILTON, INC was started to provide support for families that were affected by the devastating Hurricane Milton. The organization then transitioned into assisting families with high school athlete volunteers that were eager to lend a helping hand. Coach Ekene @hsnildealsguy, then assisted with hiring support and services, and with the introduction of NIL, the program became what we now know as Hire High School Athletes.

All projects, programs and events are hosted under the same 501(c)(3) nonprofit charity organization - our parent charity organization.
