Empowering Today’s Game Changers to Become Tomorrow’s Leaders

What We Do

We help young people begin building their legacies at an early age through our youth development programs, and we recognize scholar athletes with strong character through awards and scholarships.

How We Do It

GameChang3rs…Building Legacies is the creation of a highly talented team of veteran educators who knew Mike Sadler and the value his legacy could bring to today’s students as they begin to build their own legacies​.
