John’s Island Foundation
Gifts Crossover New Van

This spring, Crossover was awarded a grant from the John’s Island Foundation to purchase a 2024 Ford Transit® 15-Passenger Van. The van made its debut this summer as the primary vehicle for student athletes to enjoy Crossover-sponsored cultural excursions and for transporting those who were selected to participate in the elite Leonard Hamilton Basketball Camp held on the campus of Florida State University in Tallahassee.

The addition of the van to Crossover’s vehicle fleet will expand our transportation capacity by 50% in the new school year. With this gift, we can now take more youth on field trips, college tours, and competitive basketball tournaments around Florida. The van will be integrated into our daily afterschool programming schedule, transporting children from their schools to the Crossover Center for Excellence. Additionally, the van will be critical to our new collaborative partnership with the Kenny Holmes Foundation as we can assign the van specifically to children from the Foundation who will be driven to the Crossover facility for the academic support they need to excel on the football field.

We share a special thank you to the John’s Island Foundation for this extraordinary gift and for its longtime support of our capacity to scale up while achieving our mission and programmatic success.
