Community involvement

 

Winter/Spring, Moving the needle

Entrepreneurship is vital for the future of our communities. We partner with Active Youth Academy, annually, for our 10 week entrepreneur course, Moving the Needle: Effecting Change Through Entrepreneurship. In this course, students are tasked with developing a business idea that has a community impact in some way. They then go on to develop a business plan that supports their business idea and also a business strategy to market. We conclude the ten week course by hosting a “Pitch Night” where the students present their business idea, plan, and strategy to a panel of judges, amongst their family and friends supporting. This course touches on two of our three foundational pillars, “Mentorship” and “Education”.

 

 Spring, Chess Class

The game of chess has numerous benefits for the human mind. It enhances reading performance, increases test scores, and even develops dendrites in the brain. This 9 week course is led by Bobby Jackson and is taught through his chess course, Name of the Game: chess in Real Life, where he teaches the game of chess through a real life perspective. Listen here to hear more about this course and the benefits of chess from Bobby Jackson.

Winter, AnNuAl Chubb Club Tour

Bradley Chubb, of the Denver Broncos, visits 20 Boys and Girls Clubs in the metro Denver community as he interacts and hangs out with the students there during his offseason.

November, holiday launch

Tis the Season to play some golf. When the holidays approach, many kids and families are left without meals or family to celebrate with. Our annual Holiday Launch brings kids, from the local communities, together to bring in the holidays and have some fun at Top Golf. Each kid leaves with gift cards, to local grocery stores, to bring home to their family to buy a holiday meal.

Summer, Annual Youth Football Camp @ mercedes benz stadium  

The Chubb Foundation Football Camp kicks off every summer at the Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Ga. The Chubb Foundation partners with organizations like: Big Brothers Big Sisters of  Metro Atlanta, 100 Black Men of South Metro Atlanta,  and Active Youth Academy, to provide middle school and high school students in the metro Atlanta area, to participate and support this event. The camp is free of charge to the students. Multiple NFL and collegiate football players will be on hand to instruct and coach the participants.

Our mission as a foundation is to use our sports platform to activate human potential; this camp does just that. Participants are provided with on-field instruction, coaching, and competition to better their technique. Not only will they be coached on the field but off the field also. The camp concludes with a group Q & A with the coaches of the camp, where they hear multiple players speak and are able to ask questions. 

Our goal for each camper is to leave the camp with more skill of the game and knowledge of the game, than they came in with and also a better sense of confidence and direction for their daily lives. Each participant will also leave the camp with  a bag, supplies, and a lunch provided by Chick-fil-A. 

This camp enforces two of our three foundational pillars, “Health and Wellness” and “Mentorship”.
