​SPYDA's WORLD ​ORGANIZATION ​

S.W.O. wants you to get more involved in doing something that will make you feel good either by helping yourself or someone you know and love. The message we are looking to convey is raising awareness of Mental Illness though our event called ‘On The Court With A Cause: Bouncing Out the Stigma’ tour. Spyda has taken his years and skills in playing streetball for other companies such as AND1, AND1 Live and S.K.Y. and has transitioned himself into playing for his own organization. In an effort to remove the shame and other bad connotations associated with people, especially athletes; S.W.O is taking the stand to help others better understand mental illness. S.W.O. is breaking down the social barriers and hoping to provide empowerment to those suffering with a mental illness once they have admitted that they are suffering with a disease of the mind. ‘On The Court With A Cause’ is our advocacy part of the organization where we are offering various mental health agencies an opportunity to market their agencies through our unique style and approach to aiding them in recruiting additional consumers.
