Chris Johnson provided a great presentation today on his company Chris Johnson Basketball Academy (CJBA).  When asked why he decided to start CJBA, he explained, "This is my way of giving back to our community.   My passion is coaching and inspiring kids through the game of basketball.  I love watching kids develop their game, while teaching them life lessons to be used on and off the court.  Basketball is a powerful tool to encourage discipline, team work, work ethic, determination, and integrity. All skills to be successful in this "game of life."  CJBA impacts over 500 kids per year through its basketball camps, monthly academy, AAU program, and clinics. Chris's nine year old AAU Team made it all the way to the "Final Four" at the National Tournament.  A little team from Sacramento is now ranked #4 in the country. Their 2013 season is just under way, where they will be traveling to Kentucky, Maryland, Portland, and Akron, OH.  They need our help.  To help support CJBA program please visit http://www.chrisjohnsonbasketball.com/support_cjba or mail contributions to CJBA at, PO Box 582345, Elk Grove, CA 95758.
