"This opportunity was significant to me because it was my first chance of employment ever! The mentoring we give the children is truly bigger than the game. Being involved has made me appreciate the future that much more. Whether they go on to be MLB All-Stars or future doctors or artists, we want to be able to be engaged with them in an important stage of their lives." — Full Count Fellow Javondre' Cole, Jefferson High School graduate now attending Winston-Salem State on the Michael Jordan Wings Scholarship "My favorite part of Full Count was when I could tell the kids were actually able to grasp what I was teaching them and able to apply the things I taught them." — Full Count Fellow Kolby Cantue-Cliette, Jefferson High School graduate now attending the University of Oregon |
