Greetings, True Grit Sports Nation!
On Saturday July 22, the First annual Austin Pettis Foundation - Celebrity Basketball Game (www.austinpettisfoundation.org ) tipped off. It was a successful event! The event's attendance and all-star participation was great! The game was competitive and exciting. Some notable all - stars in attendance: NFL Hall of Famer - Jackie Slater (Retired NFL RAMS), Austin Pettis (NFL Rams), Brandyn Thompson (NFL Redskins), Asa Jackson (NFL Ravens), Rapper- Mike Jones, and numerous (local) professional sports celebrities.
Later that evening, the AP Foundation sponsored / provided dinner and entertainment, along with several great auction items for bidding. All of the proceeds from this event will provide sports camp opportunities for underprivileged youth. This is the mission of the Austin Pettis Foundation.
The True Grit Sports Nation of TGS Alumni and supporters are very proud of this TGS Alumni - Austin Pettis. His efforts to give sports/educational opportunities to those future athletes and scholars without the financial means to achieve it, is what all TGS Alumni have a responsibility to do. Austin, Brandyn and Asa, are living their commitment to the community. They are providing examples and opportunities for others to do the same.
The True Grit Sports Standard - "Community, Commitment and Hard Work" remains strong and maintained. Woo - Ha!
