Want to see Ball For Lives in your school or church? Scroll down below for info for the 2009-2010 school year.

What started Ball For Lives in the first place was the idea that basketball had the power to captivate people. So I began to take my dribbling skills and use them to spread a message. In this presentation I share my own basketball story and how I’m now using basketball to make a difference in people’s lives. The goal is to motivate the youth of our culture to think about how they could use their talents and abilities to change their world.

Use the links below to download a letter describing the assembly in detail.

Contact Occh (occh@ballforlives.com) for pricing and availability.

It created a partnership between Ball for Lives and pretty amazing basketball organization called 4-One. A lot of big ideas are in the works for us. Check out www.4-One.org and tell us what you think!

Gilbert Arenas & Occh

On Friday, April 4th, I had the opportunity of meeting Washington Wizards All-Star Gilbert Arenas. After Spalding donated basketballs to my NYC Marathon run, I sent in one of the marathon pictures for a photo contest they were having. My photo won and the grand prize was a trip to DC to meet Agent Zero! You never know where your hard work may take you!

I wasn’t sure how big Dime was until I saw Adidas advertising on their website and Shaq on the front cover of their latest issue. They said they wanted to interview me about dribbling the marathon and run an article in an upcoming issue. March’s DIME Magazine had Kobe on the front cover and Occh on pg. 42!

You can see a PDF of the article here.
