ABA/ARISE Announcement
To: ABA/ARISE Families, Coaches, Players and Partners
I feel like I know many of you or, at a minimum, we have crossed paths over the years either at Lincoln Christian School or through my involvement in ABA/ARISE.
I am sending this as follow up communication to the email Casey Winkels sent sharing the news about ABA/ARISE joining with Supreme Basketball. I want to make myself available for any questions and, simply to be here to support your involvement with us. I can be reached at [email protected]. Starting July 1st, I will officially be joining Co-founder & CEO of Willet & Cumro Innovations and alumnus of Lincoln Christian School Brian Willett as the CEO for Supreme Basketball.
As we move forward, I personally will be involved in the oversite of ABA/ARISE Basketball, and Casey Winkels will stay involved as well. My personal involvement stems from a passion to spread the Gospel message as far and wide as possible. It comes from a belief that ABA/ARISE has an amazing and distinctive opportunity to provide a Christ-centered basketball experience where success is defined by “maximizing our God-given potential and becoming more like Him in the process.” I also believe that by joining ABA/ARISE with Supreme we can increase the overall experience and opportunities provided to families and players!
We want you to know that the mission and vision of ABA/ARISE are not changing! There will be no compromise or wavering in providing a distinctively Christ-centered experience for players and families. We also want you to know that we do not intend to increase prices, however, we do plan to expand opportunities provided to players and families through multiple other partnerships that we have. Additionally, we are committed to maintaining practice space at Lincoln Christian School for the many families and players that we realize this benefits.
It has been a blessed run as Superintendent at Lincoln Christian School, but I am excited about this new ministry opportunity. Thank you for your partnership and the role you have played in ABA/ARISE. I believe there are great things ahead! Our partnership with like-minded families, with a focus on the Gospel of Jesus Christ is what makes ABA/ARISE special. We look forward to continuing and expanding upon these relationships. To God be the glory!
In Christ,
Zach Kassebaum
