So grateful to be at the 2025 National Cities United Conference in Louisville KY with our Fort Wayne UNITED team.
Hearing from Mayor Craig Greenberg was a great reminder that ALL can be impacted by gun violence.
We are committed to contributing to this needed work.

I was in Fort Wayne a few days ago, reflecting on the legacy of former Mayor Tom Henry. He will be remembered for his unwavering support for young black males ages 10 to 24 through Fort Wayne United, even in the face of opposition within his own administration. @FWUNITED – at Indianapolis, IN

🏀 Late Night Basketball 🏀
Late Night Basketball had another successful run last night, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the turnout and energy on the courts! A huge shoutout to our week two champions, the Grizzlies, for their outstanding performance and sportsmanship
Late Night Basketball had a successful launch this past Saturday! It was amazing to see young men coming together to enjoy the game and so much more. Beyond the scoring, we witnessed some real growth on the court as well as off it.
This is what Late Night Basketball is all about—building not just basketball skills, but life skills too.
A huge thank you to everyone who came out to play, support, and encourage each other. Let's keep this positive momentum going and continue to grow, both on and off the court.
