I started the Dinwiddie Family Foundation to work in my local community and to make sure every child, regardless of background, reaches their full potential

Born in Los Angeles, CA on April 6th, Spencer was brought up and raised to be dedicated with anything he does. His parents, Malcolm and Stephanie Dinwiddie, raised him to be dedicated to anything that he does and made sure Spencer had access to all of the tools and resources he needed to succeed, no matter what his passion would be.

Fast forward to now, Spencer honored his journey by starting The Dinwiddie Family Foundation. Spencer launched the DFF in honor of those who helped him advance in life. Spencer knows that the guidance that he had growing up was crucial to his achievements in basketball and business, and that is why he is eager to give back and help others in the same way.

Spencer Dinwiddie mixed his hobby with his philanthropy. Oh, and in classic Dinwiddie style, thumbed his nose at the shoe companies that had rejected him.
