Thank you all for showing up and showing love at the Athletes for Awareness 4th Annual Basketball Clinic!
Your energy, support, and commitment to our youth made this event truly special. I’m reminded once again that God does not play about His children ….. He covers them, guides them, and surrounds them with a community that lifts them higher. This clinic was more than just basketball; it was purpose, protection, and growth in motion. To every parent, volunteer, coach, athlete, and supporter: THANK YOU ! Your presence made a difference, and together we created an environment where our young athletes could learn and grow.

I would like to give a special thanks to:
