We would like to extend a huge thank you to Lytle alumni and current University of Texas Dallas basketball player Jordan Balderaz for coming back to Lytle High School and sharing his knowledge with the campers at our FREE Slam Dunk For Life Basketball Camp.

Jordan spent time both speaking to and coaching up the kids, sharing his journey from growing up in Lytle to earning the opportunity to play college basketball. Jordan led Lytle to their first state appearance in 99 years! His story showed our campers that with hard work, discipline, and dedication, their goals are within reach.

This is exactly why Slam Dunk For Life exists. Our mission is to connect young athletes with positive role models who have walked a similar path and can inspire them to dream bigger. By bringing back individuals like Jordan, we are giving our youth more than just basketball skills—we are giving them confidence, motivation, and the belief that success is possible both on and off the court.🏀 🏴‍☠️

At Slam Dunk For Life, our mission goes far beyond teaching the game of basketball. We are committed to creating opportunities for our youth to learn valuable life lessons, build confidence, and hear from positive role models who have walked the path before them.

We would like to extend a sincere thank you to Kaleb Johnson of the NBA G League’s Valley Suns for taking the time to speak with our campers in Lytle. Kaleb shared powerful words about the importance of character, education, hard work, and staying committed to your goals—no matter what path you choose in life.

What made his message even more impactful was his story. Coming from the small town of South Hill, Virginia, Kaleb was able to connect with our campers and remind them that no dream is ever too big. Through dedication, perseverance, and believing in yourself, anything is possible.

This is what Slam Dunk For Life is all about—using the game of basketball as a platform to inspire, educate, and empower the next generation. Thank you, Kaleb, for investing your time in our youth and helping us make a lasting impact on the Lytle community. 🏀

Impact isn’t limited to one mission. From promoting healthier lives through our nonprofit to serving free meals for hardworking teachers, I believe real community work means helping wherever help is needed. 120+ pieces of chicken & sausage cooked for teachers & staff at Miguel Carrillo Elementary in South San ISD.
Huge shoutout to Chupacabra seasoning who sponsored all the seasoning used to make these meals happen. 🍗 Slam Dunk For Life🏀
