    “We will be forever grateful for your amazing kindness towards me and my family. Attending the national championships was a dream of mine and something I worked hard for every day. Your support and donation was the reason I was able to attend. My world changed the day I stepped into the stadium. Good news to report, our relay team came in 4th in the 1600 Sprint Medley with the time of 3:39.71!…We were on the podium and got medals. We were all so excited. It was an experience we shared together and will never forgot. My blessing go out to your team for giving me an opportunity to achieve my dreams."

    "Thank you for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to play in a national basketball tournament in North Carolina. It was the farthest I have ever traveled. It opened up a new world for me. The competition was off the charts and I witnessed a new level of play that I never knew existed. It motivated me to work harder and up my game. I will dig deep to get there next year, and show off my new talents. Thank you EAP for your help!”

    “I wanted to reach out to thank you for all you have done for me. I was honored to receive your All-star scholarship award, which is giving me the opportunity to attend the Boston College showcase camp this summer. This is going to help prepare me to play the collegian level. Boston College is one of my top three dream schools and to be able to meet and interact with the volleyball coaches is going to be unbelievable. I would also like to express my appreciation for funding my club volleyball experience this past season. I grew as a player, teammate and person an and off the court. Playing JO volleyball as exactly what I needed to develop my game. I made irreplaceable bonds with my new teammates and coaches. All of this would not have been possible without the help of your foundation. I feel more ready than ever to face any obstacle that comes my way. I intent to challenge myself on the court and off. Because of this, I plan on taking as many AP classes as possible next year. Thank you for your continued support of my efforts. I would not have these opportunities without the contributions of you and your benefactors. I sincerely appreciate your all you have done for me.”

    “I just want to take the time to say thank you for helping our athletes with donations of proper equipment. We have extremely talented, committed student and track athletes, who are great kids. Unfortunately, many show up to the program with gear that actually hinders their performance, because they can’t afford the cost of new, performance sneakers and equipment. New sneakers, waffles and clothings for some of the athletes, improve their speed, time and ability immediately. These donations also increases their confidence. Our staff cannot thank you enough for supporting our team and helping these athletes succeed. I truly believe your contribution has made a positive impact on their lives.”
