THE EXPERIENCE
REAL TALK.
REAL IMPACT.
The Gold Standard Youth Foundation launched its More Than an Athlete Series with a special Q&A dinner featuring NBA star Alex Sarr.
In an intimate setting, young participants had the opportunity to listen, ask questions, and connect around lessons that matter both on and off the court. The conversation focused on teamwork and energy-generating behaviors—the everyday actions and attitudes that help lift others up.
Greatness is about more than what you do in the game.
