2024 INITIATIVES
In 2024, our objectives are to contribute significantly towards reaching the $25,000 limit for the UNM Anderson School of Business Endowment Scholarship designated for Santa Fe High School students. As of June, the remaining balance is $13,000. Our second aim is to launch additional programs in collaboration with local law enforcement to raise awareness about gun violence. Additionally, we seek to sustain our efforts in providing shoes to high school athletes who are in need.
2nd Annual JB White Memorial Tournament
The JB White Foundation proudly partnered with the Santa Fe Police Department for our 2nd Annual Basketball Memorial Tournament in Santa Fe, New Mexico, from July 12-14. With 44 teams registered, we raised funds to support our 2024 initiatives, including providing gun locks to adults and police badges and stickers to youth in the community. This event exemplified our commitment to empowering young individuals and promoting safety in Santa Fe. Thank you to all participants, sponsors, and volunteers for making a positive impact through your support.
2024 JB Wings Shoe Gifting
The JB's Wing Shoe Giveaway is a heartwarming event organized by the JB White Foundation in collaboration with ADs, Coaches, and the New Mexico Activities Association (NMAA) through high schools across New Mexico. This initiative aims to support basketball players in need by providing them with quality shoes anonymously. By partnering with schools and the NMAA, the foundation ensures that deserving athletes receive the footwear they require to excel on the court, regardless of their financial circumstances. Through the generosity of the foundation and the dedication of the participating schools and the NMAA, the JB's Wing Shoe Giveaway not only enhances the performance of these athletes but also instills a sense of support and community within the basketball program.
