Our ClubHBHF Exposure Academy foundation is seeking sponsors for our June 2023 life skills and mentorship symposium in Buffalo, NY!
Make a donation to our nonprofit and support student-athletes and entrepreneurs-in-training from the Buffalo area. As XA is a nationwide training and mentorship program, you’ll also help to sponsor high school and junior college students from around the country. We provide donation receipts at support@clubxa.org.
Club HandleBizHaveFun (ClubHBHF) is proud to announce the official launch of its nonprofit organization (NPO), Exposure Academy (XA). Founded by ClubHBHF founder and former NFL Wide Receiver Stevie Johnson and his wife Britney Johnson, Exposure Academy’s mission is to develop student-athletes and entrepreneurs through symposium-style training, both on- and off the field.
“A nonprofit organization status for our Exposure Academy program makes it possible for us to provide our mentorship and training services at no cost to student-athletes and their families,” said XA’s Stevie Johnson. “This is just the beginning of the opportunities we’ll offer athletes and entrepreneurs across the United States.”
XA is a new NPO, but the ClubHBHF organization has run past symposiums for student-athletes in destination locations such as San Francisco, CA. The program also features a docuseries to showcase the athletes, display their growth during the program, and get them the media and scouting exposure they need to take their football career to the next level.
“Football players get NFL and collegiate-level training, but they also receive life/skills mentorship in critical areas like nutrition, exercise, and finance. Other key focus areas include entrepreneurship and self-care,” Johnson said.
XA means opportunity. Exposure Academy graduates have received football scholarships upon attending their symposium and appearing in the docuseries. The next XA symposium will be held from June 2-9, 2023, in Buffalo, NY.
Exposure Academy is a California-based nonprofit. Tax ID (FEIN) for donations is 92-2672029. Buffalo symposium sponsorships and charitable donations are now being accepted. Please see our XA Sponsorship page on the ClubHBHF website for full information on our sponsorship areas and how you can contribute.
