I wanted to take a moment to share something deeply personal and important to me. Seven months ago, I took a leap of faith and founded a manhood development/AAU basketball called the Dream Team. It was born out of a deep-seated belief that we can make a profound impact on the next generation, especially those who need it the most. Little did I know then that the Dream Team would grow to become something bigger and more impactful than I ever imagined. Our program is free for all players because we firmly believe that every child deserves access to opportunities, regardless of their background. However, as we all know, youth sports come with financial costs. Despite facing financial challenges, we have achieved some remarkable successes. When we began, the average GPA of our players was 2.6. Today, after just seven months, it stands at an impressive 3.12. These are not just numbers; they represent the tangible difference we are making in the lives of these young individuals. I believe in the power of community and collective action. Currently our programs doesn’t have the funds to sustain this program, so we need your help. You can donate and receive popcorn. We get 50% of the proceeds or you can donate directly. https://lnkd.in/gbKKx53v CLICK HERE TO DONATE: https://lnkd.in/gtV5EnRE Click on page for link.

In talking with development professionals, a common concern is often around the transition from one software to another. At Classy we make it SUPER easy to switch your tech and ensure no gaps in donation, and that you start transacting more, immediately. If being hesitant to upgrade your platform comes from a fear of the added work for the transition, lets chat.

🚨🚨LAST CALL🚨🚨 Fundraiser ends at 5pm today‼️ If you haven’t had a chance to check out the pop-up shop now’s the time. No purchase necessary just a simple share to help reach as many individuals in hopes to us meeting our goal. There’s also an option to donate popcorn to essential workers. #NCDAC #probation #parole #postrelease #probationparole #fundraiser #nc #communitysupervision #communitycorrections #corrections #communitysafety #reentry #lawenforcement #criminaljustice #criminaljusticereform #criminaljusticesystem

Today you can make an enormous impact in the lives of aspiring young athletes in Colorado by making a donation to Chance Sports through Youth Sports Giving Day! Starting September 4th, all donations will be matched DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR - doubling your impact! For many kids, participating in competitive sports has a profound impact that lasts a lifetime. From improved physical and mental health to better grades in school and developing leadership skills, participation in sports - particularly competitive sports - can be a game changer. But we also know that the costs associated with such participation - from club fees and travel to new gear and uniforms - can be a barrier for entry for many families, leaving their athletes on the sidelines. That’s where CHANCE SPORTS steps in to help. By providing partial scholarships to families with financial need, we are removing barriers and supporting our young athletes in their desire to PLAY! Equal opportunity levels the playing field and makes it about talent and not access. #youthsportsgivingday

I promise I'll post about my actual job (we have a new video to share about Mainframe mod and GenAI!) but as summer winds to a close I wanted to share a charity opportunity related to Golf: https://lnkd.in/g2i6mqfG Ultimately this is about helping kids lead healthier lives and is related to the amazing work that Jack and Barbara Nicklaus have done across the world to help kids heal and thrive with their Play Yellow initiative. My Wife Ashley and her colleague Kelli are going to play 72 holes of golf in one day and they are going to make it rain birdies. If you have a bit of a gambling mindset, you can make a donation based on the number of birdies they're going to make. You can also make an up-front donation. Note that this is focused on Colorado - ask your local pro if something is happening near you! Why is this on LinkedIn? Two reasons - first - this is really the only social media I do. I do so little I don't know if this actually counts as social media. Second - having married a professional golfer I've learned a lot about golf that has surprised me. Watching Ashley and her friends and colleagues navigate a male-dominated world (5% of PGA professionals are women. 5%!) is in many ways a clearer lens to the same challenges we see in technology. The backlash we've seen in some pockets of the world against fostering inclusion - one person's opinion here - ignores the reality that a diversity of thought and opinion makes teams better. Here's a golf example - when you're taking a golf lesson, you are incredibly vulnerable and it can be intimidating - no single approach works for everyone. Finding a coach that resonates with you (and this can be especially hard for women coming to the game, or children wanting to learn) is critical to your experience. There is not a long line to draw between this phenomenon and what we see in technology as leaders, mentors and peers. Also, golf is fundamentally a game of integrity - I've seen remarkable examples of leadership and integrity on the course (look up "Sahith Theegala penalty" for an unbelievable example recently) and again it reminds me of all the things we try to do as leaders and professionals in business. I've always liked the phrase "integrity is what happens when no one is looking" and if golf can help me and others to model that, there's more to the game than I thought. Let me close by saying - for those in the Northern Hemisphere - enjoy the last gasps of summer, whatever brings you outside to do so!
