SUMMERSLAM '25 HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO A LATER DATE.

The gym is alive with movement. Basketballs echo off the floor, music sets the pace, and teams push themselves with focus and energy. But behind the competition, something more meaningful is happening. One player is building confidence. Another is exploring what it means to be a leader. Someone else is having an honest conversation about their future for the first time.

This is the power of Summer Slam.

Back for another exciting year, Summer Slam 2025 is more than just a 3v3 basketball tournament. It is a place where youth ages 16 to 24 come to play, grow, and prepare for life beyond the game. Hosted by The Austin Foundation, this event combines community, mentorship, and skill-building in one unforgettable experience.

And this year, we are growing up.

We are launching Next Level Labs, our newest after-school initiative focused on life readiness. Teens will walk away with tools to manage their finances, build confidence, and explore careers. With your support, we can expand this program and make its impact even more meaningful.

Our goal is to raise $15,000 to support:

Career and life skills workshops
Supplies, equipment, and venue costs
Mentorship and community engagement tables

Every donation matters. Whether you give $25 or $2,500, you are investing in youth who are ready to lead with purpose. You can also purchase a ticket, sponsor a table, or bring a group to be part of the energy.

This is your chance to make a lasting impact.

Donate today, and help us shape the future of Detroit, one game, one youth, one opportunity at a time.
