Our youth basketball initiative
Empowering Youth Through Sport and Mentorship
We believe in creating opportunities that empower, uplift, and inspire. Through programs like Elevate Basketball Academy, we invest in initiatives that strengthen communities and help young people reach their full potential. Our youth-focused programs teach not just basketball skills, but values of discipline, perseverance, and camaraderie that extend far beyond the game itself.
Investing in the Next Generation
At The Avery Group, service does not stop at the contract. It extends into the communities where we live and work, and into the futures of the young people who will shape what comes next.
This year, TAG proudly partnered with TJFACT to contribute a $1,000 scholarship as part of the Be the Dash Young Achiever’s Scholarship program. Now in its fifth year for TAG, this scholarship recognizes graduating high school seniors who have demonstrated academic excellence and a commitment to meaningful impact. TJFACT has awarded more than $50,000 in scholarships to date, and TAG is honored to be part of that legacy.
