Message From The President

 

As the son of the late Josh Giles, I am truly committed to honoring his legacy and making a difference in the lives of our youth through education and activities focused on showcasing their talents and advancing their dreams.  In my childhood years, I did not fully realize the impact my father had in our community.  However, I realized his promise to consistently make my sisters and me better people on and off the playing field.  He was more than just a basketball coach; he was a leader, an educator, and a mentor.  He made a difference in the lives of many adolescents on a local and national level.  His commitment to their well-being through athletics and higher education lives on through me today.

As one of the founders of the Foundation, I have worked diligently with individuals who were empowered by my father’s spirit to make a difference.  Had it not been for their hard work my visions would not have become a reality.  I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank them for their commitment to making the foundation a success.

I would also like to give a special thank you to our patrons and sponsors for their contributions.  Your support affords the Josh Giles Foundation the ability to reach out to our youth in ways that promote positive behavior and education.

Additionally, I would like to acknowledge the coaches and players participating in our events. Their involvement is living proof that my father’s legacy impacts another generation.  His spirit lives on through those who continue to support his dream and make his vision a reality.  Thank you to all for your support.

 

Warm regards,


Brandon J. Giles
