We are off and ballinβ at Fort Campbell Kentucky β¦ US Army, home of the 101st Airborne Division and 160th Special Ops Aviation Regiment and 5th Special Forces Group. Great turnout of 115 military kids hoopinβ at our camp today!


Over 500 youth/adults were reached through my @YGC_Foundation basketball/mindfulness program at Pearl Harbor @JointBasePHH and Ewa Beach BB Hawaii Youth Academy. TY @TheNBPA for the matching grant - sponsors @WashWizards @PUMAHoops @CocaCola @SUBWAY + Players from @HawaiiMBB
Our 3rd and last camp of the trip was held at Block Arena on base at Pearl Harbor. Another 75 military kids took part in our hoops camp. Marcus had a blast and so did the coaches and players!



Thanks for giving back to the military and community. I asked my kids all week if they wanted to go then last minute they changed their minds and had a blast!
Day 2 session 2 of our charity event in Honolulu is at Block Arena on-base at Pearl Harbor. 100 military kids ready to hoop this morning. The energy was off the charts, & a surprise appearance by the Admiral Barnett of the US Navy & Joint Base Commander Newsom & Captain White.



Aloha! Day 1 of our charity event in Honolulu was a community event at the Basketball Hawaii Youth Academy at Ewa Beach. Coach AL puts on a heck of a youth program/community event. With fighter planes buzzin above us & subs pulling into port, it was a π₯π₯ experience w 200 kids !


Excited about our @YGC_Foundation charity community and military event in Honolulu, Hawaii coming up at the end of June!
