BKGB Sports Camp gives youth athletes the chance to learn, compete, and grow in a positive environment led by experienced athletes, coaches, and community mentors. Campers can participate in basketball, football, or both, depending on their interests and registration selection.

Basketball
Campers will work on fundamental basketball skills, including ball handling, shooting, passing, footwork, defense, teamwork, and game awareness. The goal is to help athletes build confidence while learning from people who have competed at high levels.

Football
Football participants will focus on movement, agility, catching, route running, defensive skills, position basics, teamwork, and competitive drills. The camp is designed to be active, encouraging, and accessible for athletes at different experience levels.

Multi-Sport Athletes
Athletes who enjoy both basketball and football are encouraged to participate in the camp experience that best fits them. BKGB celebrates multi-sport development and gives young athletes a chance to explore their abilities in more than one setting.

Age & Skill Grouping
Campers are grouped by age and/or skill level when possible to help create a safe, competitive, and supportive experience. This allows younger or newer athletes to learn at the right pace while giving more advanced athletes opportunities to be challenged.

Mentorship
Beyond the drills and games, BKGB Sports Camp is about mentorship. Campers have the opportunity to connect with former collegiate and professional athletes, coaches, and community leaders who understand the impact sports can have on confidence, discipline, leadership, and life beyond the game.

Student-athletes can participate in basketball, football, or both. Campers are grouped by age and/or skill level to create a supportive, competitive, and engaging environment.

For approximately $10, each camper receives lunch and a commemorative shirt.
CUF’s long-term goal is to remove the participation cost entirely and provide additional items such as commemorative basketballs and footballs.

Sponsorships and donations help reduce costs for families, improve the camper experience, provide gear, bring in special guests, and expand the camp’s impact.

Community Unite Foundation supports projects that use sports, mentorship, wellness, and community connection to create meaningful opportunities for youth and families in Topeka.

Mental Performance & Wellness Night
Held the evening before BKGB Sports Camp, Mental Performance & Wellness Night focuses on confidence, resilience, stress management, and life beyond sports. This event is open to student athletes ages 12+, parents, coaches, and athletic staff. It is a separate registration from BKGB Sports Camp and gives families a chance to engage in the mental and emotional side of athlete development.

Cushinberry Community Initiative
The Cushinberry Community Initiative is part of CUF’s broader commitment to honoring local legacy, strengthening community ties, and creating opportunities that support youth and families in Topeka. Through projects like this, CUF continues to build programs rooted in service, access, and long-term community impact.

Future Projects
CUF is continuing to develop future projects that align with its mission to inspire youth through sports, mentorship, education, wellness, and community partnerships. As the foundation grows, these projects will help expand access to resources, programming, and support for young people across the Topeka community.
