Sports Leadership Ministries, a 501 (c) (3) public charity in Spokane, WA, recently received a $5,000 corporate contribution from AXA Advisors, a financial consulting corporation. AXA helped sponsor a free basketball clinic in April at Lincoln High School in Lincoln, CA. The monies will also go towards summer camp scholarships for NBC Basketball Camps; specifically its sites at William Jessup University in June and Pacific Union College in July. These two NBC Camps sites are directed by Brett Lewis and Erik Carlson, and the camps are intended for boys and girls ages 8-18.

The clinic and camps will help fulfill the mission of Sports Leadership Ministries and impact the lives of many campers. SLM is designed to create unique opportunities to impact both the youth and adult world through the avenue of sports in a positive way. SLM believes that competitive athletics can teach important life lessons necessary for corporate and individual success. Even the poor student, the lazy worker, the disrespectful child, the gang member, suicidal behavior, drug addiction, and a host of other potential social problems can be successfully addressed through the avenue of sports.

For more information regarding corporate or individual contributions, please call SLM at (509) 232-6490 or email tellisward@nbccamps.com. For more information regarding the two camp sites, see www.nbccamps.com.
