The Ballers Classic
Creating a platform to the next level
Follow The Ballers Classic
The Ballers Classic is a showcase created to allow student athletes to demonstrate their skill and athleticism in front of college coaches, college recruiters, and sports media analysts. The event is invite-only for players and or teams to compete at a high level. The event's secondary purpose is to serve as a fundraiser for students who are income-challenged and are pursuing post-high school education.
The Ballers Classic is the vehicle that allows us to generate the necessary funding for scholarships and equity gifts for students, while building a networking platform for communication in the recruitment process for student athletes and college coaches.
Music That Matters
Bringing The Music That Matters to you

The Music That Matters brand was created with the intention to impact our community in a very unique way. The brand allows the organization to extend its hand in the direction of all things pertaining to musicianship and music pathways.
When students have opportunities to internalize music, develop ear and brain training, experiment with creativity, and make music their own, they develop a lifelong interest in what they are studying — and ownership of what they are creating. Music That Matters also intends to raise funds to create opportunities for individuals not financially able to propel themselves towards their career paths or are experiencing hardship and needs music as a positive outlet.
Embrace our journey to make a difference, as we walk through the house of all things music. With the help of potential sponsors and supporters, we will be hosting live ticketed events throughout the year with the purpose of bringing a new approach to how we introduce new talent to the area for example… Drumlines competitions, Live Horns, Individual Music Clinics, Instrument Showcases, and Full bands of all genres and styles, and much, much more.

The idea of COC is to honor chefs that impact our local areas and abroad. (Sous Chefs, Catering Chef, Pastry Chef, Prep Chef, Line Chef, Executive Chefs, Culinary Educators etc.) Celebrating the Chefs in our local area and abroad is the ultimate goal, the draw is loads of pop up events throughout the year such as cook offs, bake offs, etiquette education events, festivals and much more. We believe that taking the opportunity to celebrate our hard workers in the culinary field is much needed. Rehoboth, Lewes and connecting areas are driven by our restaurant industry. Which includes those who are in the kitchens on the front lines and behind the scenes. Beyond the beach and all it has to offer, our various styles of restaurants and culinary talent here is unmatched for miles. Arguably our dining locations we love are responsible for a large portion of traffic that we see year in and year out. We would love to help our participants in our pop up events showcase their talents in the kitchen and knowledge of the industry. While simultaneously helping support our youth and young adults pursuing post grad education. Even those going straight into the workforce immediately after grade school. The proceeds raised at each and every event will impact our youth pursuing culinary or industry passion immediately. We have a lot of innovative ideas and strategies available to help increase the flow traffic for all participating restaurants and chefs. Journey with us as we honor, showcase, educate and create opportunities for our community and youth in the area and abroad.
