One Family. One Fight. 501(3)C
One Family. One Fight. (OFOF) opened it’s doors in 2020 after losing our middle son Samaad Z Frazier to gun violence on December 31, 2019 in Somerset, NJ. He was 19 years old and a 2018 graduate of Franklin High School. He was an elite basketball player and a huge inspiration to those who knew and loved him. To continue his legacy, and to make a difference in the community, we started our Developmental Travel Boy’s Basketball League that combines our Legends Mentor Program to offer Sports+Mentorship to teach Life & Leadership Skills on and off the court.
According to the Gun Violence Archive, a total of 43,654 people have died from gun violence in the US in 2020 with numbers rising to 44,916 in 2021. With the rise of gun violence in all communities, providing positive outlets for the youth, building community relationships, and partnering with local businesses has become mandatory.
Sports creates a common goal to bring the youth in the community together. We use that platform to teach the young men how Life and Leadership Skills coincide with Sports Team play. Our program includes a Saturday Life Strategies Academy, Empowerment Workshops, Leadership Development Series, Career Development, Financial Literacy, and College Bound Series. Our interactive workshops and roundtable discussions focus on positivity, responsible decision making, effective communication, relationship skills, and conflict resolution.
