Atlanta Tip Off Club Inc

WE BEGAN THE 2020 BASKETBALL SEASON WITH GREAT OPTIMISM, GIVEN THAT WE HAD A STRONG CORPORATE PARTNER BASE, AND OUR ACTIVATION PLANS WERE AGGRESSIVE. THAT, ALONG WITH THE NCAA MEN'S FINAL FOUR SCHEDULED TO BE HELD IN ATLANTA MADE FOR A HIGHLY IMPACTFUL SEASONTHEN THE COVID-19 GLOBAL PANDEMIC HIT. THE ABRUPT END OF THE BASKETBALL SEASON, COUPLED WITH A COUNTRY ON LOCKDOWN, DIDN'T SLOW US DOWN. WE PERSEVERED THROUGH THE FINAL FEW WEEKS OF THE SEASON SO THAT WE COULD ENSURE THE VOTING WAS COMPLETE AND THAT WE HAD A MECHANISM IN PLACE TO DETERMINE OUR NATIONAL AWARD WINNERS WE FOUND A NEW PLATFORM TO ANNOUNCE THE WINNERS WITH CBS SPORTS. WITH CITIZEN WATCH CO. DECIDING NOT TO EXTEND ITS CONTRACT, WE AGGRESSIVELY PURSUED A NAISMITH ENTITLEMENT REPLACEMENT AND LANDED JERSEY MIKE'S, BUILDING OFF THEIR SPONSORSHIP OF THE HIGH SCHOOL NAISMITH TROPHY AWARDS. ON THE COMPANY ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS, WE UPDATED OUR BYLAWS AND ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION, THUS PROVIDING GREATER STRUCTURE AND DIRECTION FOR THE CLUB. AND WE FILED AN APPLICATION WITH THE STATE OF GEORGIA FOR THE COMPANY TO BE ALLOWED TO SOLICIT CHARITABLE DONATIONSSOMETHING WE HAD NOT PREVIOUSLY DONE IN OUR EXISTENCE BUT NECESSARY MOVING FORWARD. ADDITIONALLY, WE LAUNCHED A PODCAST, ENHANCED OUR SOCIAL MEDIA ACTIVATION PLANS, AND REDUCED FUTURE EXPENSES BY MOVING OUR COMPANY OFFICES. FINALLY, OUR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROGRAMS REALLY TOOK SHAPE WITH THE CREATION OF THE JERSEY MIKE'S NAISMITH COURAGE AWARD, AND THE YMCA GYM RENOVATION TWO PROGRAMS WE WILL LOOK TO EXPOUND UPON IN 2021. CORPORATE PARTNERS SECURED A 3-YEAR ENTITLEMENT WITH JERSEY MIKE'S ON THE COLLEGE NAISMITH TROPHY. SECURED CITIZEN WATCH TO REMAIN AS A CORPORATE PARTNER, SHIFTING TO THE "OFFICIAL WATCH OF THE NAISMITH AWARDS". EXTENDED REGIONS BANK INTO 2022 TO ALLOW FOR MAKEGOODS FROM THIS YEAR.
