Giving back to the next generation of athletes has always been an important part of building a strong sports community.
That’s why we’re proud to support NBA player Max Strus and his annual basketball camp held at his alma mater, Stagg High School in Palos Hills, Illinois.
Each year, young athletes gather at the camp to learn from Max and his team — not just about basketball, but about the values that shape both great players and great people.
Throughout the camp, Max emphasizes a message that goes beyond the game: being a good person leads to positive opportunities.
The camp focuses on developing fundamentals on the court while also encouraging leadership, confidence, and character off of it.
For us, supporting events like Max’s camp aligns closely with the mission of Happiness Project — helping young people build strong mindsets, believe in themselves, and grow through the challenges that sports naturally bring.
Because the lessons learned through athletics often extend far beyond the court.
They shape how we show up in our communities, how we treat others, and how we approach the obstacles life throws our way.
Together, the camp carries a message that resonates with athletes at every level:
Hard work builds skill — but character builds opportunity.
