The creation of the Deon Lendore Foundation was inspired by Deon Lendore's death in an automobile accident on 10 January 2022.

Deon Christopher Lendore was born in Arima, Trinidad and Tobago, on 28 October 1992, to Chrispina Edmund and Cipriani Lendore.

He attended Arima Boys’ Government School, where he did well academically. He performed well in the Trinidad and Tobago high school entrance exams, which awarded him entry into the prestigious Queen’s Royal College.

Deon loved everyone he came into contact with, but he had a special place in his heart for children. In an interview with his school newspaper, he said, “I would like to help kids in Trinidad and Tobago who may not have the money to participate in sports but may have the potential to be good. A single mom raised me, and we didn’t have that much money, so I would like to help kids like that.” That statement is the foundation's guiding principle.

Today, the foundation is focused on improving students' physical, mental, and emotional health. We're helping families find scholarships for their children. We are also improving the fitness and wellness infrastructure in schools.
