BUILDING A LASTING LEGACY

Join us as we celebrate 20 years of coaching the coaches and building a legacy that transforms lives both on and off the court.

Hear the Untold Stories

Coaches are among the most influential voices shaping the character, values, and future of our next generation of leaders—making their impact greater than ever. But influence comes at a cost. The demands are relentless. The pressure to win can be overwhelming. The emotional and spiritual toll of carrying dozens of young lives—while trying to lead their own families well—can leave even the strongest leaders burdened, and needing someone to stand with them. When we strengthen a coach—we multiply impact that will echo for generations. 

Connect with Champions of Faith

Join us for an elegant evening at the home of Kenny and Lisa Troutt, alongside the leaders of Nations of Coaches, Hall of Fame coaches, today’s top collegiate leaders, and more special guests. Experience how faith-driven leadership transforms lives—and discover how your support can help build a legacy of excellence for generations to come.

Invest in Tomorrow's Leaders

By joining us for this special evening, you’re not just attending an event—you’re stepping into a legacy. Your presence and support will help coaches thrive, impact athletes, strengthen families, and leave a lasting mark on communities across the nation. Be part of shaping the leaders who shape generations.
