The platform to mentor, encourage, and teach life skills to our youth is basketball. Hutch has positively impacted the lives of thousands of children from all backgrounds through the building of their self-esteem while teaching them self-discipline, accountability, and healthy life choices.

In addition, Cpl. Hutchinson also organized “Daddy Daycare—Celebration of Good Fathers.” This event used basketball to encourage fathers to be positive role models and active participants in their children’s lives.

If all of that isn’t enough, he serves as a Coach for the Junior Varsity and Varsity basketball team at Astronaut High School and at the Field of Dreams Sports Complex where he works autistic children.
