Davone Bess has been working to help those in foster care achieve more

CBS4 = CBS4.com


CBS4: "Current Miami Dolphin player Davone Bess and former Fin Jeff Dellenbach know what it's like to be part of a team. So they've joined forces with non-profit programs like Remember The Children and HANDY to help those in foster care achieve more."


About the importance of foster care, Davone Bess said:
"For some of these kids, they don't have any one." (CBS4)


CBS4 Note: "Bess and Dellenbach both back up their words with actions by taking part in mentoring along with athletic and afterschool programs; they say they can see the results. "We assist them in becoming that individual that if they had parents, they would have become" said Brown. "Our success rate is that a lot of young people have excelled beyond the 90th percentile in terms of education, transitioning well into their own homes and just developing as an individual to become a better part of our community. Ninety eight percent of our young people graduate from high school." "
