The Randy Foye Foundation

It is with pride and excitement that I announce the launch of my charitable foundation.

The Randy Foye Foundation serves to improve the quality of life in my hometown of Newark, NJ by raising money to fund specific projects throughout the city with a focus on the children.

We have a talented team of dedicated individuals who are working constantly to ensure that the Foundation operates with class and professionalism as we seek to achieve our mission. Your support is just as important.

I hope you will join us in our efforts. Our first event is the "Night for Newark" black-tie gala to be held August 2nd, 2008, at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark. We invite you to be a part of this special inaugural event in one of many ways: purchasing tickets or tables and attending the dinner; placing an ad in our program journal; or becoming a sponsor at any level.

I am thankful for the opportunity to serve a community that helped raise me. I am truly excited about the opportunities that the Foundation can bring to Newark, and our team is happy to be a component of Newark's continued rebirth. I look forward to working with you to make the dreams of the Foundation a success!

Sincerely,

Randy Foye

East Side 411.......

The April Live period is upon us and East Side’s 6 foot 7 225 pound rising senior Eddie Brown checks in to give us his thoughts on this past season and the future.

What about you individually? Do you think you’ve played up to your own expectations? No, I feel I let the team down when I got hurt.

What’s your most memorable moment thus far in basketball? Putting on an ESH uniform for the first time, it was one of the times I felt like I belonged.

Which contest this season has been the team’s best accomplishment thus far? When we beat Plainfield at home, it showed our potential as a team.

Which games or team do you and your team mates consider East Side Rival? Linden

If you could have dinner with one sports star, past or present, who would it be and what would be your first question? Jason Kidd. How hard did you have to work when you were my age to get to the point you are now?

What/Who inspires you? My dad inspires me everything he showed and told me was for me to become a better person and responsible like he is.

How did you feel about your season overall? The team didn’t play to the expectations that we had. I played about 10 games due to a broken hand. So I have to say it was a let down.

How did you think you played individually? I missed a couple of games with a broken hand. I have to learn from my mistakes, but when I did play, I played with my heart and tried to leave it all on the court.

What was your role on the team? Block shots and rebound

What AAU Team do you play for? Team New Jersey Elite

This is your last semester on the circuit; do you have any expectations for it? I want to play hard and get scholarship offers.
