2023 Future Founders Business/Career Summit + Charity Tournament!

Excited for students joining virtually from across the region who will have the distinct opportunity to meet and hear firsthand from an awesome diverse lineup of business leaders, founders, and entrepreneurs.

The talented team of Beyond Expectations & Thurgood Marshall Student Programs have been working hard behind the scenes as part of our Young Entrepreneurs Academy planning and preparing for this highly collaborative event.

It's an amazing chance for middle, high school and college students to forge real connections with professionals introducing them to a wide array of new industries ... and provides the ideal forum for all of us to give back together.

Thanks to our partners The College of New Jersey Lions Gaming Club (Jennea “JJ” Jeter, President) for hosting this year’s Queen Charity Smash Tournament to benefit Beyond Expectations! #supportyoungentrepreneurs #givbk2gether

NBA 2K 2023 FINALS -- We were there!!!

Thanks to Joe Gallant who connected to put this awesome partnership in motion last year with NBA 2K League. This year, we were able to take it to the next level and enjoy the LIVE action of the exciting finals at District E 2K League Studios in the heart of Washington, DC!

Special thanks to Antonio Silva who worked tirelessly with Ms. Leontyne to organize a pre-event visit then a follow-up group visit and behind-the-scenes tour led by Justin Johnson and Nicholas Gartrelle on game day! It gave us a chance to learn about the vast potential opportunities within the 2K League organization then hear directly from so many of the awesome staff that pulled together the amazing tournament:

Production | Commentators | YouTube Influencers | Partnerships | Coaches & more!

Top prize for 5v5 winners ‘Warriors Gaming’ was $500,000! 2nd place team walked away w/ $200,000! Overall, The NBA 2K League awarded $2.5 million in cash prizes across the entire league series.
