The Concept

Bakers and Ballers™ pairs professional athletes with young bakers for a rising bread challenge, interweaving lessons on life and mental wellness during the proofing and rising periods of bread baking.

Why It works

• Engages students through hands-on activity and a popular sport
• Role models provide stories of perseverance.
• Builds youths’ self-confidence and practical skills
• Champions healthy choices, resilence, and self-respect.

In sports, you practice before you play. In baking, you proof before you rise. In life, you prepare before you shine.
