Last week our Director of Development (Pamela Bridgeforth) and our Program/Violence Prevention Manager (Sister Patricia Millen) spoke with one of the original founders of our coalition.

It was a joy to hear directly from Sister Jean — her advocacy and deep passion for the community was felt. As we move into our future it is extremely important to understand our history!

Last month marked the end of our 8-week Trauma-Informed Basketball Program, I want to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who helped make this experience possible.

This program was about so much more than basketball. It was about creating a safe space where young people could feel seen, heard, supported, and valued. Through basketball, we created opportunities to build trust, develop confidence, learn how to manage emotions, strengthen relationships, and understand that their experiences do not define their future.

I am incredibly thankful to every participant who showed up, competed, encouraged others, shared their story, and continued to push forward—even on the difficult days. Your willingness to participate and grow is what made these eight weeks so meaningful.

To the families, coaches, mentors, community partners, and everyone who supported this program—thank you for trusting the vision and investing in our youth. Your support helped create an environment where basketball became a bridge to connection, healing, accountability, and personal growth.

Most importantly, I hope every participant walks away knowing this:

You matter. Your Voice matters.Your Story Matters.And you are capable of doing anything you put your mind to; it’s all about your will to do it!

Thank you ,
Kwon Prescott
