🏀👟 Shoutout to Taiki Yoshimura for continuing to lead after graduating from Game Changers!

Taiki took the initiative and led an outreach event at the San Mateo JYO picnic to promote Unitedly and continue his Game Changers Legacy Project, 100 Pairs for 100 Hoopers.

He shared about Unitedly and his Legacy Project while collecting basketball shoes for Hoopbus Bay 🌉🏀.

🏀 A big thank you to CC (Chi Cheng ) for joining our Game Changers at our basketball clinic with Trainify Labs!

From winning a collegiate championship and earning MVP honors in China to competing against NBA G League All-Stars and participating in the Jeremy Lin NextGen Camp (Jeremy Lin 林書豪) and NBA Creator Cup, CC brought a wealth of experience, energy, and passion to the court with our players.

We’re grateful to have role models like CC take the time to share their experience, encourage our student-athletes, and support the next generation of AANHPI basketball players.

Thank you, CC, for showing up for our players and the Unitedly community! 🙌🏀

So proud of Game Changer LJ and his Legacy Project, Change the Word. Change the Game. 🏀

LJ’s campaign brings awareness to the impact negative words can have on athletes and encourages us to replace them with positive words that build confidence, lift each other up, and help create a more inclusive community.

A powerful campaign to create positive change on and off the court. Thank you to everyone who contributed to and supported LJ’s project. Proud of you, LJ!

A message from our Founder, Alyson Suzuki.

Grateful for the opportunity to meet Nisha Zemlin (Nisha Zemlin ), college basketball player, advocate for people with epilepsy, and founder of Athletes For Epilepsy. 🏀

As a mom of a young athlete with epilepsy, this connection was especially meaningful. Nisha is showing athletes that epilepsy doesn’t have to limit their dreams or opportunities.

At Unitedly, we believe every young person deserves to be included and have equitable access to opportunities. We’re excited to have Nisha join us at our Game Changers Graduation this Friday and look forward to working together to inspire and support more athletes and families.

Thank you, Nisha, for using your story to inspire others. 💜

Proud of our Game Changer James! 🏀❤️

For his Legacy Project, James explored how basketball can bridge cultures, bring communities together, and give young people a way to connect, lead, and give back.

This is just a preview of what James will be sharing next week at our Game Changers Graduation. We’re proud to see him use his love of basketball to strengthen culture, connection, and community.

Can’t wait for everyone to hear more from James next week!
