GC SCHOLARSHIPS + ESPY INITIATIVE
The Game Changers Scholarship and ESPY Initiative is a nationwide program that recognizes the positive impact student-athletes have in their community while also encouraging them to be well-rounded citizens. Our scoreboard’s algorithm uses a student’s GPA, attendance, disciplinary infractions, extracurricular activities, etc. to put student-athletes in the running for a scholarship AND an all-expenses-paid experience to attend the ESPYS!
The end goal is to use healthy competition to create a portfolio highlighting student achievements while incentivizing education and community involvement.

To Make a Difference
Change is where growth occurs. In 2013, I moved back to the continental US to make a positive difference in the community that has given me so much. Creating a nonprofit organization for our youth has been the most challenging, yet rewarding journey of my life. From the beginning, Game Changers has been on a mission to be both engaging and impactful in reaching our student-athletes! Since 2014, Game Changers has worked with over 4,400 students nationwide. My foundation was Faith, Family, and Football, and today, my goal is to continue creating like-platforms that encourage the athletes of today to be well-rounded, educated leaders who continue to give back tomorrow. We are asking individuals and businesses to have a direct impact in the most sustainable aspect of the student-athlete–their character development.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
DONOR LEVELS + BENEFITS
Make More Possible
Game Changers values the investment that our partners and sponsors make to the organization, and we have put metrics into place to make the larger audience aware of donor collaboration (pre, during, and post events). We celebrate our youth and welcome you to join our mission by becoming a financial investor in the cause. The sponsorships are broken down into monthly contributions, over a one-year period.
Being in partnership with Game Changers is a deeper commitment more than financial support. The platforms we create are not only co-sponsored by our partners, but they also are invited to join our distinguished panel at our GC-360 Leadership Summit, assist with professional development with corporate exposure days, and/or mentor a student athlete in the next step of their journey.
