Operation Triad Play on Triad Today
On Saturday, March 23rd, attorney Griff Shuler appeared on Triad Today to discuss Operation Triad Play, an exciting new community program from Beyond Sports NC and sponsored by Daggett Shuler. Appearing alongside Griff were Micheala Amidon and Mike Kennedy, co-founders of Beyond Sports NC.
Beyond Sports NC, a sub-organization of NC Fusion, promotes kids’ participation in sports of all types. Their mission is “To help bring opportunities and resources to youth and schools to get more kids involved in sports by eliminating the financial barriers of sports by providing equipment, play opportunities, resources for coaches and mentors.”
Operation Triad Play is a new program from Beyond Sports NC. First implemented in Greensboro, the program partners with police departments to stock squad cars with a variety of sports equipment. This equipment is then distributed to young people the officers encounter, whether it’s while on patrol or responding to a call. This encourages positive interactions with police officers, breaks down barriers, and provides a great opportunity for the officers to connect with the kids and the community at large.
