Our Mission
The mission of the Grey Rose Foundation is to help those in need through basketball and use the game to engage with the youth and disenfranchised communities. With your help, we can use the game that we all love to make a difference in the world.
Kickoff Project
The first goal of Grey Rose is to rebuild the Rita D’Almeida basketball courts in Zimbabwe, the home of Grey Rose founder Jair Bolden’s mother. These courts were once a staple of the community. With your help, Grey Rose can return the courts to their former glory and open them once again to the leagues that played there.
Short Term Goal
Establish Grey Rose Foundation’s presence in Zimbabwe and investigate other opportunities to help youth in U.S. communities through basketball camps, volunteering, or other resources.
Long Term Goal
Develop facilities where youth in disenfranchised communities can train for basketball and where they can also find a safe haven if they need one. Helping young people with school, sports, and overall mentorship in such a facility is the long term goal of Grey Rose Foundation.
