The Grand Opening
2.24.24
Our grand opening was one of the best events we've ever had. After years in the works, we were finally ready to show the community what we've built. Hundreds of community members, friends, and family showed up to show their love and support, and we couldn't think of better people to share this moment with. This only marks the beginning of The Grove.


Dre Greenlaw Q&A
12.17.24
We had the privilege of welcoming Dre Greenlaw of the San Francisco 49ers to our facility. Dre shared his journey to the NFL and his upbringing, offering insight into his life full of both trials and triumphs. His story brought a human element that resonated with us all, showing how he overcame obstacles that might have prevented others from reaching their goals. Dre also brought his beautiful family, highlighting his passion for raising his son and being a positive role model. The event was sponsored by one of our partners, RFRD Academy, a respected dog training and rehabilitation center. A full catering service was provided, offering free meals to all families in attendance. It is always an incredible opportunity to have successful individuals return and give back to the community where their journey began, just as kids themselves.




The Celebration of Life
5.12.24
At The Grove, we have a large network of coaches and trainers whom we support and consider family. Unfortunately, we lost an incredible coach and mentor to the youth far too soon. Eric Cordova was a pillar of support for many athletes in our city. We had the privilege of hosting his family and loved ones to honor his life in the place he loved most: the basketball court. With nearly 200 people in attendance, we held a ceremonial speech and performance, established a scholarship in Eric's name, and organized 5-on-5 basketball games in his honor. We support and love everyone in our community, and though our hearts are heavy, we are grateful for the opportunity to honor our fallen friend.
