Home Court Advantage Capital Campaign

At Crossover Mission, we believe in the power of opportunity—on the court, in the classroom, and in life. Our first-ever capital campaign, launched in January 2022, represents a bold vision to transform our ability to serve highly motivated student athletes in meaningful and lasting ways.

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, this vision is becoming a reality. The new Crossover Center for Excellence, located in a renovated former citrus packing facility near the heart of Gifford, is more than just a building—it’s a symbol of possibility and a hub for growth. Purpose-built athletic, academic, and supportive spaces are now empowering our student athletes to dream bigger, work harder, and achieve more.

This campaign is about building futures. Together, we are creating a home where young lives are shaped, strengthened, and inspired to thrive both on and off the court.

As capital campaign funding has been secured, the new Crossover Center for Excellence has taken shape with the completion of purpose-built athletic, academic and supportive spaces such as the:

  • Brad Lorimer Robert Parsons Basketball Court
  • Ryan Family Memorial Fund Basketball Court
  • Darlene W. Ryder Center for Academics & Training
  • Blair Family Foundation Athletic Training Center
  • Ted and Dawn Michaels & Rosemary and Dick Haverland Mezzanine
  • Dining Center (sponsored by an Anonymous Donor)
  • Boys’ & Girls’ Locker Rooms and Elevator Structure (sponsored by an Anonymous Donor)
  • Wanda Lincoln Elevator

To date, $8,952,389 has been raised through this Home Court Advantage Capital Campaign from more than 100 community donors. In addition to the near completion of building interior renovations, in May 2024 an anonymous donor made a $2 million contribution to retire the property mortgage rending Crossover Mission debt free with is first permanent endowment.
