The Antetokounmpo Family Foundation Celebrates 5th Anniversary of the AntetokounBros Academy program with an event at The American College of Greece

On Monday night, the American College of Greece campus hosted a celebration of the AntetokounBros Academy's fifth anniversary, hosted by the Charles Antetokounmpo Family Foundation (CAFF).  The event celebrated an important milestone for the Foundation and brought attention to its deep collaboration with The American College of Greece, which enables young people who are facing major obstacles to follow their aspirations.

In addition to six scholarships to basketball academies for children to hone their abilities and two academic scholarships to study at Deree University, over 130 athletes earned medals and presents at the Academy graduation ceremony.  Young individuals between the ages of 18 and 25 can also train to become junior coaches through the Academy; one of them was hired as the Academy Year 6 coach at Eurohoops for ten months starting in September 2024.  A pro bono initiative of CAFF, the AntetokounBros Academy is run by Eurohoops and the American College of Greece with assistance from Nike, the Kaizen Foundation, Ergon Foods, and Bioiatriki Nutrition.

The AntetokounBros Academy's educational programs have been expanded through a partnership with the esteemed American College of Greece, established in 1875, and CAFF, a global charity foundation formed by the Antetokounmpo family.  The AntetokounBros Academy's curriculum will incorporate mentoring, leadership development courses, and life skills.

With CAFF offering college scholarships to ACG for AntetokounBros Academy graduates and supporting Education Unites ACG, The American College of Greece's distinctive scholarship program catering to refugee, migrant, and displaced students, this partnership also establishes pathways to higher education for under-resourced youth and refugees.
