Aijay is extremely dedicated to basketball. He lives, eats and breathes basketball. He also is on honor roll and helps anyone he can.
Thank you for generously supporting Aijay in this year’s competition. Your support helps empower the V Foundation for Cancer Research and the Why Not You Foundation in their respective missions to save lives and empower today's youth to become tomorrow's leaders.
Aijay loves playing basketball because it makes him happy being able to play with family and friends. He loves being able to build friendship with team players and learning new skills. It also helps him not focus on the outside world or if he is having a bad day he will play basketball to relieve any tension or stress he may be feeling at that time.
Aijays inspirations are people like Kobe and Jimmy Butler who no matter what they had going on in life they kept pushing and following their dreams no matter what they were told or how many times they lost they never gave up on the game.
Aijay just started playing basketball for his school district last year and right away his coaches wanted him to be team captain. Aijay showed leadership and responsibility right away. His willingness to teach other players especially younger children who enjoy playing is very impressive to watch.
