Onyeka has demonstrated a desire and commitment to impacting his community. His work has focused on serving young people and honoring nurses, a nod to his mother, Kate, who has been a nurse for many years. Onyeka is honored to partner with Kate’s Club, an organization whose mission is very close to his heart.
In 2014, Onyeka’s older brother Nnamdi passed away following a skateboarding accident. Nnamdi and Onyeka were very close – they were best friends and shared a love for basketball. Following Nnamdi’s passing, Onyeka has placed a greater emphasis on valuing life and not taking anything for granted. He has made it his mission to build a legacy in honor of his brother.
Remembering his own experience with grief, Onyeka feels uniquely equipped to support Kate’s Club.
