Mike Tyson and Michael Jackson are two of the biggest personalities in their respective fields. They were on top of the boxing and pop world during their active years in the 80s and 90s and have left an undistinguished impact on both fields. More than their crafts, both of them are formidable human beings who have positively affected lots of lives.

No matter what you do, it would be nearly impossible to continue the legacy of these two greats. But their sons, Miguel Tyson and Prince Jackson, have taken the first step in the right direction. Very few people know that Tyson and Jackson Jr. have helped countless lives over the years with their non-profit organizations. Jackson Jr. started the ‘Heal Los Angeles Foundation’, in 2016, as a way to pay homage to his father’s former ‘Heal the World Foundation’. On the other hand, Miguel Tyson has been an active part of the ‘Mike Tyson Cares’ Foundation. The duo recently joined hands to help the needy and continue in the charitable footsteps of their fathers.

A Powerful partnership for a powerful change

The Mike Tyson Cares Foundation and the Heal Los Angeles Foundation share a common goal: to support children in need and address critical issues such as hunger, abuse, and homelessness. Both organizations have long provided crucial services to young people in and around Los Angeles, helping them build better futures. This partnership between the two foundations not only makes perfect sense, but it also holds the potential to extend their reach and provide even more support to those in need.

Miguel Leon Tyson talked about how proud he is of the foundation and this partnership. He talked about carrying forward the legacies of their father and how they can impact many lives. “I was always passionate about helping communities, even on a global front. I think it is super important for young kids, everyone, to have that foundation of fitness, for your mental well-being. It’s great having my father’s, Prince’s father’s legacies coming together,” Miguel Tyson explained in the Instagram clip shared by Heal Los Angeles Foundation. The 22-year-old can be seen playing with children, mingling with different communities, and traveling to remote places around the world.

Similarly, Prince Jackson, 27, shares the same commitment to making a difference. Having initially focused on addressing issues in Los Angeles through his foundation, he now aims to create a more significant impact on a global scale. Inspired by his father’s work, Prince has expanded the mission of his charity to align with Miguel Tyson’s efforts, creating a powerful alliance for change.

While Jackson Jr. got inspired by his father’s work to start the Heal Los Angeles Foundation, Miguel Tyson decided to expand the movement that his father years ago.

Mike Tyson Cares: A Product Of Poverty

Mike Tyson launched the Mike Tyson Cares Foundation in 2012 with a mission rooted in his personal experiences. Having grown up in poverty, Tyson is deeply connected to the struggles faced by low-income communities. His foundation’s purpose is to give individuals in these communities the opportunity to improve their lives. The foundation’s website highlights a poignant quote from Tyson: “I am a product of poverty, so I identify with the struggles that plague communities that feel hopeless and in despair. I want my foundation to support community-based programs and turn hopelessness into hope.”

Since its inception, the Mike Tyson Cares Foundation has made a significant impact, helping countless individuals through its programs. With Miguel now playing an active role in the foundation’s operations, its reach continues to expand. Both the Mike Tyson Cares Foundation and the Heal Los Angeles Foundation have grown substantially under the leadership of Tyson and Jackson’s sons, who are dedicated to carrying forward their fathers’ legacies.
