Greetings:
Founded in 2000, Securing A Mind Foundation (SAM-F) has held basketball camps for children in Georgia, North Carolina and as far away as Italy.
Vision
Central focus is to educate, elevate & empower our youth.
Mission Statement
SAM-F seeks to foster childrens’ intellectual, physical, and social development and encourages a moral responsibility to give back. SAM-F believes in each one helping one through programs that serve to enhance the lives of all children, regardless of race or socio-economic status. SAM-F also strives to develop in children those critical life skills that are required to be successful and function as productive individuals in society. SAM-F not only fosters productivity, but it promotes discipline. We strengthen each child’s commitment to positive social values such as honesty, integrity, personal responsibility and respect for others through example, introducing them to, and allowing them to interact with, role models of society of varied backgrounds.
Basketball Camps
Playing the game of basketball requires more than being able to execute the fundamentals of the game. Implementing basketball skills effectively requires the incorporation of life skills not just on the court but off the court as well. Good court play requires (1) effective communication (2) interpersonal skills (3) sportsmanship (4) team work (5) conflict resolution, and ultimately (6) good leadership skills.
Academic/Career Exposure
SAM-F gives participants an opportunity to expand their aspirations beyond the basketball court by offering (1) mentorship, (2) motivational speakers, (3) educational field trips both domestic and international, (4) conversational foreign language, and (5) financial scholarships.
