D’Aundray Brown CSU Men’s Basketball Student Athlete 2007-2012
Founder and CEO of Dre Day32 Foundation
D’Aundray Brown is a former professional athlete turned CEO/Founder, Director, & DEI Officer of both The DreDay Foundation 32 Inc and The YMCA of Youngstown with 8 years of experience providing underserved communities with coaching, resources, and mentoring. Concentrating in the non-profit sector, D’Aundray uses that experience to exhibit servant leadership in all he does.
By focusing on positively affecting the lives of children, families, and the community, D’Aundray has been able to put his bachelor’s degree in Sports Management from Cleveland State University to good use. Over the years, his strengths at Dre Day and The Y have garnered some recognition from The City of Youngstown’s Mayoral Office and the YMCA of USA. D’Aundray now spends most of his days at the YMCA, but it’s impacting lives of the youth that gets him up in the morning. When he’s not at the office D’Aundray is an avid basketball player and loves spending time working out. He is still a bucket!
