Since 2018, the Foundation’s Free Annual Basketball Camp has been a cornerstone for youth development, rooted in the same fundamentals of the game that helped shape Jayson life and career. Recognizing the power of the sport to instill lessons that transcend the court, in 2019 the Annual Camp expanded to include a Leadership Program. From mastering teamwork and discipline to learning how to make impactful decisions, these children gain the confidence to not only grow as athletes but also as leaders within their communities, embodying Jayson’s vision of using basketball as a catalyst to inspire the next generation to make meaningful choices on and off the court.
The Leadership Program provides camp participants with the unique opportunity to engage with role models who are making a meaningful impact in the community. By using basketball as a gateway, Jayson connects with participants on a level that resonates deeply, demonstrating how the lessons learned through the game can translate into life-changing insights. Through his program, Jayson leverages basketball as a powerful catalyst to spark conversations with young girls and boys about leadership, community building, and personal growth. Through interactions with Jayson and other inspiring leaders, the program instills critical thinking skills and strong character in its participants—qualities that not only enhance their performance on the court and in the classroom but also empower them to become active contributors to their communities. Participants are encouraged to explore their passions, define their purpose, and embrace the mindset needed to unlock their full potential. By inviting influential role models from sports and education, programs like this play a vital role in shaping the next generation of leaders, fostering a sense of responsibility, resilience, and unity that strengthens the foundation of vibrant, thriving communities.
