Rebuild more than a store. Rebuild our Youth!

So yeah I started this originally to raise money for our youth program to help kids with through this time and a few days later our store got burned down by 3 young kids with the youngest around 9/10 years old which is the one they had start the fire. What he didn’t realize was my brother stayed in the store the night before to head off looters and luckily he was gone the next day otherwise he could’ve died. My family and I will focus even harder on helping the youth through our program because direction is more important than ever. My mom and dad built this business from scratch. My dad is a veteran and my mom and entrepreneur saved his money while he served to start our business. They’ve been serving the community for 40+ years, helping families in need, helping give jobs etc. They’ve given several of my friends their 1st job. They also coached sports, looked out for my friends and started my fire to help young people. I’m heartbroken but I understand the mission even more. The proceeds we raise will help us take our program to the next level and help our youth the best we can. My parents will come work with us to help the kids and keep their fire going to help the community until we figure out what we want to do about another store. Thanks everyone below is more on our program. Example Sports has strived to provide our youth with a platform that promotes growth in life through sports. While we are extremely proud of the over 10 Million Dollars in College Scholarships we are equally proud of our Mental Health Awareness Program as well as our Self Awareness/Self Esteem Program which gives our student athletes a wholistic support system. 

There is no question this Pandemic has drastically altered all of our way of life in some form or fashion, as well as the recent attention being brought to Social issues and injustices. This combination has affected in a tremendous way the group we serve which is young athletes. They’ve had seasons cut short or eliminated, Millions of dollars in College Scholarships opportunities gone, been unable to train in the capacity that’s needed to maintain ultimate levels, unable to socialize and connect in a way that was also at times mentally uplifting and consolatory.  Now that the Country is beginning to slowly open up the hope, excitement and optimism we see in their eyes is refreshing.

We serve hundreds of athletes in our Elite Program who are beginning to start back training in the safest manner possible. Due to the pandemic we’ve had to adjust our processes and how we can function which also increases our expenses. The pandemic has also inflicted financial hardships on some of our families so as we work to make this new functionality available to all our kids we’ve found the need to raise funds to insure all our kids have an opportunity to remain active. We are already providing several free training sessions to help our athletes get back and moving forward we will need continued safety supplies, more gym time as well as funds for safer travel accommodations, and to also bring back our Support Group meetings in a safe way.

We are asking for your support in helping our staff turn this difficult time into a great moment of resilience, fortitude and support for our youth. Anything above and beyond will be used to continue in growing our program and the opportunities it provides for our youth. Thank you in advance! #TogetherWeWill... #ExampleStrong
