TESTIMONIAL

Over the past twenty years, I have had the opportunity to meet and interact with a great deal of people and coaches in this business. I can honestly say that you are at the top of the list in your commitment to youth and giving them opportunities to succeed.

Richmond is like many cities across the country. The area has tremendous talent, but without someone like yourself helping to expose that talent, many kids would be left without the opportunity for a free education and to further their athletic careers.

We all strive for doing well in our lives and Tony Squire has exemplified good in his everyday walk of life by giving kids a chance to do well in their everyday life.

Squires’ Boys Basketball Program is one of the most successful AAU basketball program in the country. Its success is a direct result of your ongoing commitment to the young men who have participated in the program.

”As a coach I am also appreciative of the stress you place on your players to achieve in the classroom. Very few young basketball players understand the importance of education. Basketball will end for everyone, but ones education will last a lifetime. As a basketball coach I also appreciate your knowledge of the game and understanding of what it takes for a young man to succeed at the college level. I always value your honesty about player’s strengths and weaknesses. You are always no nonsense; you never try to sell me on a player who would not fit into our program. You try and find the right Fit where each of your young men can be the most successful.”

“For over the years Squires has made it a habit to influence young lives in a positive way through basketball in the City of Richmond. The organization is designed to provide an opportunity for teenagers to spread their wings athletically as well as socially in secured surrounds. It is this timeframe in life that many young individuals fall through the cracks and the Squires program is a safety net for many of these individuals. They develop self-esteem and respect for themselves and others. Many opportunities are provided to interact with role models and community leaders.”

Since 1987, Tony Squire has run one of the best AAU programs around. I have been here since 1994 and have seen first-hand, the changes Tony and his staff have made in the lives of countless of teens here in Richmond. Tony routinely puts together some of the best teams on the East Coast and spends hundreds of days each year on the road helping them improve and achieve. HCBS) done this all without a hint or trace of impropriety, or a negative word spoken about his program. I can promise you that if you chose to become a partner with Tony Squire, you will never regret the decision, and you will be helping one of the truly benevolent people in this country. For a lot of kids around here, Tony is the difference between the stars and the streets.

“The Squires Boys Basketball Education Foundation, Inc. is a respected nationally recognized program where integrity is always first. I am very proud of this organization and all that it provided to my son when he was a youth athlete. My son benefitted greatly from the high-quality basketball program provided through this highly visible local and national program. Its volunteers, with integrity and devotion, have improved the lives of thousands of young people. The Squire’s organization’s past partnership with Adidas back in the mid-1990s elevated the program and made it the first Richmond, Virginia program to be sponsored by a shoe company.”
