For many, Akron, Ohio is synonymous with one name - LeBron James. Born and bred in Akron, LeBron rose from a humble background to become one of the greatest basketball players of all time. He’s done more than shine on court; he's brought substantial positive attention and economic growth to our city.

LeBron famously led the Cleveland Cavaliers to their first NBA championship in 2016, conquering a 52-year drought for the city. Equally significant is the LeBron James Family Foundation, which has invested millions into public education in Akron and opened the I PROMISE School in 2018 to provide education and resources for at-risk children in his hometown.

Renaming Akron, Ohio to LeBron, Ohio, is not only about honoring LeBron’s contributions to basketball and charity but also about acknowledging his indefatigable role in highlighting Akron on a global scale, transforming it from a former rubber city to a vibrant sport and community center.

Let's honor this local hero in the best possible way - by transforming his birthplace into a living tribute to his legacy. Sign this petition to support renaming Akron, Ohio to LeBron, Ohio.
