Create the Crossover has been used to speak against things like drugs, alcohol, and bullying. Schools have also brought me in motivate students to do well on the state test. Our belief is this: kids are tired of being told what to do and what not to do. However, once they are convinced to live for something bigger than themselves, they won’t do drugs and alcohol or things that can ruin their lives. At the same time they’ll try harder in school becuase they’ll see it as a stepping stone for their dreams. Create the Crossover is a refreshing, different message that we believe can move your students to change.
The presentation has been done for all grade levels and adapted to different time frames. Typical settings are a gym, autitorium stage, or outdoor blacktop.

Create the Crossover can also help your students put on follow up events that will not only benefit your community, but also get students involved in saving the lives of African orphans. One of our favorite ways to do this is to take high school students into an elementary school in their town and offer an instructional basketball clinic. The kids get charged a minimal amount (e.g. $5), and all the proceeds go to Ball For Lives. Churches can use this as a great outreach tool as well. This way high school students are mobilized to meaningful community service, the elementary kids get to have a fun event, and money is raised towards saving African orphans!
