OUR INITIATIVES

We Offer a Variety of Programs and Initiatives

IN THE HEART OF AN ATHLETE

We raise awareness and provide vital cardiovascular screenings and education for student-athletes. Thanks to our generous sponsors and donors, we host events that can prevent tragic heart-related losses through early detection and treatment.

DJ'S CARE CLOSET

Every child deserves the basics to thrive. Through locations in Memphis-area schools, DJ’s Care Closet provides school supplies, clothing, hygiene products, underwear, and food essentials to Memphis/Shelby County students facing economic hardships — helping them focus on learning and growing, not just getting by.

THE DENNIS PRICE JR. SCHOLARSHIP FUND

This scholarship provides educational grants to students of African descent pursuing higher education. Our goal is to reduce financial barriers and open doors to opportunity and success.

HEART 2 HEART

This initiative provides essential needs and mentorship to youth and families in disadvantaged communities. Through Heart 2 Heart, we connect compassionate sponsors and donors with children and families in need, giving them hope and support.

Men of Clay

Isaiah 64:8 
Men of Clay is a mentoring program for at-risk young men, focused on building character, confidence, and life skills through mentorship, activities, and community engagement. Inspired by DJ’s legacy, it offers young men a path toward success and positive change.
