Hunter was passionate about engaging in multiple sports. We're committed to carrying on his legacy by helping others achieve their dreams. James "Hunter" Stribling was born on September 14, 2012, and was called home to join our Lord in Heaven on August 4, 2023, at the age of 10. Hunter was a fun-loving young man who always made everyone laugh. He had the biggest, most beautiful smile, an unforgettable laugh, and a huge heart. Hunter was very athletic, excelling in his favorite sport, baseball. He also participated in basketball, archery, golf, hunting, and fishing. In February of 2024, it was decided to provide annual scholarships to individuals who wanted to participate in Little League, in loving memory of Hunter. The scholarships were distributed quickly. After seeing how many people could benefit from assistance to start their child in sports or keep them involved, we knew there was more that could be done to help. Thus, the idea of JHS Young Athletes was born. Since then, we have developed an amazing Board of individuals, become 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, held multiple events with many more in the works, and helped families keep their young athletes involved. Our mission is to support young athletes in achieving their goals, regardless of where they live, Near or Far. It doesn't matter if your child is public, private, or home-schooled; if they participate in sports, we want to be there to support their dreams! Our application process is Simple and Confidential, with NO intrusive or judgmental questions. Our Board members are Kind, Respectful, and Motivated to make a difference! Our organization can provide support for a wide range of sports-related expenses, including; sign-up fees, basketball shoes, s***t shooting supplies, ball bats, instruments for band members who support sports teams, medical expenses, running shoes, helmets, golf clubs, travel expenses, private lessons, cleats, dress clothes for game days, archery equipment, meal costs, uniforms, fishing pols, catchers' gear, college scholarships, and most any other sports related costs you can imagine. If you or someone you know could benefit from financial assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out! Nothing makes us happier than when we have the opportunity to serve others!
