Rapheal Davis is the founder of Crew Life Foundation. He is also a Big Ten Analyst and a former Purdue University Basketball Player. The former 3 year Boilermaker captain and Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year is credited for being the "cultural" enzyme behind Purdue reviving its basketball fortunes after a last-place finish in the conference.
WHAT IS CREW LIFE?
The acronym C.R.E.W. stands for Community, Responsibility, Education, and Will. CREW Life exists to give back to the community and to push youth forward through sports and mentorship. Reaching disadvantaged youth through basketball camps, educational programming, college opportunity tours, and backpack drives, we aim to empower young people to recognize their own potential early and set educational goals that help them realize their dreams and strengthen the communities where they live.
​
COMMUNITY
Giving back and being an active member of your community is vital in every
stage of life. We believe in giving back any time the opportunity is presented
and teach that idea to our youth.
RESPONSIBILITY
Being responsible for your actions and understanding consequences never
goes out of style. We instill a sense of responsibility through our camps that
stay with kids for a lifetime.
EDUCATION
You’re always a student of the game, no matter the occasion. Education and
learning go hand in hand, not only in basketball but life as well.
WILL
Determination to reach the next level and a solid work ethic are unmatched
traits. Strong-willed youth become independent and learn to manage
themselves while accomplishing goals.
