Runners, Cleats and Spikes

It is our intention at Yokefellows Athletics to meet the needs of those that come in contact with us, even outside of our main purpose of creating God blessed, positive and lucrative channels in athletics so, youths can become responsible elite athletes. 

For years now I've been driven by my "WHY" a statement that goes like this "to be a supportive resource for charities and missions around the world". 

During my last trip to Jamaica I had the opportunity to live my "WHY" and it felt awesome!!! I had an idea that came to me the summer of 2021,  as I was doing one of our Yokefellows Athletelics community outreach youth time sessions. I would ask parents to donate usable footwear to give back to those youth in  Jamaica in need. I called the footwear donation "Runners, Cleats and Spikes, charity drive"

 

 
It was nice to see how many parents were open to provide me with usable youth footwear but, it was heart breaking to see the amount of kids okay with running in bear feett on hard soil however, Its was heat warming as I presented the shoes to them. The smiles on their faces as they received the shoes is worth a thousand pictures or one million words. 
 
We would love to have "Runners, Cleats and Spikes" move along side with Yokefellows Athletics sprint program as a charity offering and place smiles on kids faces. As we appeal to more professional athletic partnerships and organizations we will keep the conversation going and look to increase the number of footwear give-a-ways.

If you have any usable footwear that a kid would some much appreciate please, contact us or me at the following number here in Canada @ 416 7881920 or Jamaica @ 876 494-4070. If you would rather email us send one to yokefellowsathletics@gmail.com.

Yokefellow our Foundation

                                                              Yokefellows Athletics is built on a solid rock, the rock of Jesus Christ. We follow the set principles of Sabbath (Saturday as our day of rest)  If it was not for God and the sacrifice of Jesus,  Yokefellows Athletics would not exist. It would be impossible for me to do this business or open the doors that I'm about to open if I didn't give back to God through recognition and sacrifice of His command.  The word Yokefellows comes from one of the greatest sacrifices of biblical history, through Paul's journey to Rome and his imprisonment, he gives great honor to those yokefellows (Philippians 4:3) that lifted him up and made the Yoke of bondage that was on his life lighter.   This is the essence of what a Yokefellow is and the mission of Yokefellows Athletics is about. When capital revenue is not the driving force in ones life and people or companies have a greater purpose to help others in their time of n

The March "Youth Against Gun Violence (Pt1)

Things on earth are not manifested until the heavenly realms have decreed them. To understand the things happening here in this world, we must give our self over to listen and obey God's voice and command. At Yokefellows Athletics Jesus always went to the people even through many rejected Him, as many did receive Him and were saved to have ever lasting life.  [John 3:15].    Its being a few months now and the Lord has pressed upon me to hear the cries of "Youth Against Gun Violence". the mothers, fathers, family and community. These are the cries of a falling world, where sadness. anger and bitterness are on the menu for the day.   As I gave up my Sabbath church attendance, with the conviction of God's word [Mark 2:27-28]  " And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: 28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath". I attended a city March "Youth Against Gun Violence" held in Toronto and embraced it f

The Count Down

   Its two weeks before the Sprint Battle pilot program launch in Nigeria, the actual date is June 23, 2023. This is an important date; a lot is riding on this date when it comes to establish momentum for other Sprint Battle competitions to be established. My goal is to have multiple competitions happening at once all over the globe. Its my hope we can properly capture and market the happenings of the event on that date of the 23th to conduct another Sprint Battle in the month of August 2023 as a revenue generator. I already have a few interested parties looking to know more about what Sprint Battle can do for them as a revenue channel. Sprint Battle has the advantage of being new and the benefit of being well known in community happenings. That sounds contradictory but, that is the facts. When you take something old and popular, then revitalize it to fit contemporary society a lot of the hard work has already being established. This is where Sprint Battle finds itself revitalizing
