ABOUT US

Friends, Family, Associates and Community. I would like to introduce myself. My name is Lavon Stanley aka Coach Von. I am the founder of the Saving Lives Program and Head Coach of the Ginn Elite Eleven Youth Football Team. I am also the proud father of two young boys Lavon Jr. and Londyn. I became involved in this program because I remember growing up in the Collinwood community located on St.Clair in Cleveland, Ohio, the kids were limited on activities that were offered after school. As you know being a kid growing up in poverty, as kids do, we started getting in trouble and destroying the community. Slowly but surely I pretty much wanted to set a high example for poverty stricken kids and give them hope and a strong belief that you can achieve anything you set your mind to and achieve your dreams. You can become he President of the United States if you wanted to! I also found myself wanting to give back to the community. Saving Lives Program will work on hygiene, sportsmanship, integrity, loyalty and the most important RESPECT! We as a family are looking to change the narrative early and break habits before they escalate. We can't save everyone but we can definitely try with our positive attitude whereas the child would be receiving positive vibes from one strong black man to another. A strong black man, which is myself who is still in the healing process and recovering from past mistakes and pains. Allow me to become a positive role model in your childs life. Thank You!
