The Purpose of REBOUND FOR RYAN is to preserve the legacy of Ryan Ramirez by combining his love of basketball with his passion for working with children. Through this program, we will work together to create a positive impact in Ryan’s name as we rebound from a negative and tragic circumstance. In basketball, “to rebound” means to gain possession of the ball after a missed shot. We want to teach the youth of this community that when they miss a shot, both in life and on the court, they can rebound and move forward. In addition to teaching basketball skills, we want this program to help students learn the importance of love, respect and community.
