Daren "DJ" Patrick is a rising senior at Sprayberry high school in Atlanta GA. Five years ago, DJ decided drop all other sports to focus exclusively on Basketball, the game he loves. Having never competed on a high level or had any formal training DJ began developing his skills. He is striving towards his goal of going to college and playing Division 1 basketball on a full scholarship. With God's help and his natural and church family support, DJ is very close to making that happen.
Over the last 5 years, DJ had a massive growth spurt and reaching over 6'5 inches tall. He has developed very good ball handling and shooting skills of a player much smaller in size. However, he is not just an athlete, he is also a honor roll student and aspiring engineer. He is an active member of Crossroads Church where he has helped his parents successfully plant a ministry in the Atlanta Georgia area. He serves in their of audio/visual, evangelism and other community projects hosted by the church.
This July, DJ was chosen to play for Derrick Favors Elite basketball team. This organization is an extremely high level Adidas Gold Gauntlet team. They are competing against some of the top competition in the country and plays in front of hundreds of college coaches from all over the United States. An opportunity like this does not come often nor is it cheap, that is where you come in.
This summer DJ would like to travel to Orange County, California to play in one of the top 3 high school tournaments in the U.S. The Adidas Summer Championships are held this year from July 18-22. Due to the timing of this opportunity, we are asking all of our friends, family and anyone else reading this to make a monetary donation to support DJ during this journey. ALL monies raised will help to pay for lodging, transportation and food. Additionally, all will receive updates on his travels and performance.
Thank you in advance for your support, and let's exceed this goal and send DJ off right!!!!
