Water Damage VideoHi, my name is Jeffery D. Johnson, and I’m the founder of Crowns Basketball Academy here in Memphis, TN — a faith-based youth training program that uses sports, mentorship, and discipleship to help young athletes grow in faith, fitness, and fundamentals.

Over the last two years, our facility has been a safe space where kids could train hard, build character, and learn life lessons through the game of basketball. But recently, our training center suffered significant water damage — impacting our gym flooring, weight area, and recovery space. While insurance has declined coverage, I’m determined not to let this setback stop the mission.

I’m raising $5,000 to help cover repairs, replace damaged equipment, and relaunch our program stronger than before. This isn’t just about fixing a building — it’s about restoring a place that builds leaders, strengthens families, and keeps hope alive in our community.

Every donation, prayer, and share helps us continue the work of training the next generation — both on and off the court.

Thank you for believing in the mission and standing with us as we rebuild.

Training is Discipleship-Making.
