ESS was proud to participate in and support the I’m a Star Foundation’s Celebrity Basketball Game with the goal of raising money for Duval County Public Schools Students in Florida who are experiencing homelessness. Established in 2010, I’m A Star Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides an outlet for students to develop solutions to help their peers overcome negative statistics.
Local celebrities faced off against Duval High School students on Saturday, July 22, 2023, at Paxon School for Advanced Studies. Among the celebrities (city government leaders, school board members, and TV personalities), our very own Anthony Chrzanowski, ESS Vice President of Operations, helped achieve a 63-58 victory for the celebrity team!
As a platinum sponsor of the event, ESS donated $5,000 toward the cause which raised a total of $62,427! All proceeds will go toward rental deposits, doctor and dental fees, school uniforms, toiletries, food vouchers, bedding, sports equipment, school supplies, graduation, SAT, ACT, and college application fees.
Prior to the game, Anthony was featured on WJXT4’s Positively Jax Segment. Go to 1:05 in the video to see him in action!
