The Braxton Miller Foundation is dedicated to bringing athletic and STEM opportunities to young people and using those opportunities to improve their lives through education, sports, and mentoring.
In addition to our athletic leagues and camps, we also partner with Xtreme STEM to offer robotics competitions. Participants in our Charg1ng robotics program learn how to build robots that can be part of robotics competitions, learning more about STEM careers in the process.
Our youth sports events are at the heart of our mission at The Braxton Miller Foundation. We organize a number of leagues, including basketball and flag football, for boys and girls at multiple age levels. We also host multi-day football and basketball camps. In addition, we have opportunities for non-traditional competition in sports such as robotics, for kids who may not have an interest in participating in conventional sporting events. All of the Charg1ng events we organize are designed to give kids skills they can use as part of the game, as well as skills they can carry with them in life, whatever they choose to do.

We formed The Braxton Miller Foundation out of a desire to help kids achieve higher in sports and in life. Through our sports camps and leagues, and thanks to our highly-trained professional coaching staff, we give kids the tools they need to be better athletes, better students, better communicators, and better leaders as they go through life. The organization was founded in 2021 by former Buckeye and NFL football player Braxton Miller and his aunt, Lashonda.
We always appreciate the support of those who want to contribute to our youth sports programs and help improve the lives of kids through sports and guidance. If you’re interested in helping to make a difference in the lives of the kids we serve, please consider making a donation, becoming a sponsor or volunteering at one of our athletic events.

We want to take a moment and reflect on the incredible #missionmoments we had last month with our Davey Moore Park Summer League in Springfield, Ohio. Being healthy in body, mind, and spirit is one of the core values of The Braxton Miller Foundation; therefore, hosting a summer basketball league that allows kids to be active, meet new friends, and have fun is the heart of why we do what we do.
Thank you to Turner Foundation and Clark State College for sponsoring our inaugural summer basketball league. We also thank The Abilities Connection - TAC and Fresh Abilities for providing healthy snacks for the kids during the last week of the basketball league. A big thank you to Huntsman Elite, DeMarco Cannon, and My Brothers Keeper, Springfield Oh. for everything you did to provide such a fantastic experience for the kids! And most importantly, thank you to each family for coming with such positive energy and support each week.
It takes a village to create an incredible community. We are grateful for the village that supports The Braxton Miller Foundation!

On Sunday, July 24th, Springfield lost a beloved community member and leader while serving in the line of duty.
Deputy Matt Yates was husband to Tracy Yates, a volunteer for our Davey Moore Park Summer League, and father to AK Yates, who was participating in our summer league. Deputy Yates' passing has affected many in our community, and to honor and respect him and his legacy, we are canceling the last week of our summer league.
We will not have summer league games this upcoming weekend, July 30th.
Please keep Deputy Yates' family, friends, coworkers, and the entire Springfield community in your prayers. Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's Davey Moore Summer League.
Rest in peace Deputy Matt Yates. Thank you for your service to our community.

We are starting the week celebrating one of our #missionmoments! Over the last few weeks, we've shared several wonderful experiences with the students from My Brothers Keeper, Springfield Oh.
On March 25, we arranged for 87 students from MBK to attend the Springfield Symphony's Ella Fitzgerald Tribute. The kids had a fantastic opportunity to learn about the First Lady of Song and learn a little about the history of Jazz music. A few of the kids even had a chance to scat on the stage with singer Carmen Bradford and the Jazz Orchestra!
Then on April 8, the foundation got an opportunity to spend time with the young MBK men at Hayward Middle School. Braxton talked to the young men about staying focused and what it takes to achieve your dreams in life. We also encouraged the students to attend our upcoming STEM camp hosted at The Dome in June.
We are always excited when we are able to inspire kids and create opportunities for them to have new experiences!
