who are we?

Alabama Gold was established in December of 2008 By Mitchell Baldwin and Tyrone Silmon as an AAU affiliate organization. Alabama Gold is recognized as a tax-exempt organization. The purpose of the organization is help youth of Metro Birmingham, AL to become better men and basketball players.

Mitchell, founder of the CHAMP organization, assisted inner city kids for more than 20 years. He was tremendously successful in directing kids to become productive citizens. He worked tirelessly and achieved many honors for his work and has been received very well by the educational and corporate community. Tyrone, was one of the top CHAMP volunteers and earned the respect of the students and volunteers. Tyrone brings a wealth of experience in the basketball arena, namely playing Professional basketball in Europe and teaching in the Birmingham City Schools system. These two gentlemen coupled together brings about a winning combination. These gentlemen are back mentoring by leading our young men in the positive direction we need them to travel. They relate to the youth.

The Alabama Gold was organized for the purpose of developing middle school and senior high school role models utilizing sports, principally basketball, as the vehicle to attract and intermingle potential leaders. While many middle school students have the opportunity to play sports in their schools, there is no program or opportunity for inner city student athletes and suburban student athletes to interrelate on a continuous basis. The benefits are extraordinary. Not only does the suburban youth learn about inner city culture, inner city youths have the opportunity to interact with suburban youths, their friends and their families, also travel to places which they otherwise would be unable to visit.

In addition to athletics, transcripts have been requested and soon will be required before one is able to participate in Alabama Gold programs. Counseling is given as to what the requirements are for staying eligible to play athletics. Additionally, for those who need help in various subjects, efforts are being made to locate volunteer tutors.

Participants in Alabama Gold programs are charged with the responsibility of being examples in their community and are encouraged to be leaders in their respective schools. They are also cautioned that if they do not work toward being an exemplary person, they may not be able to participate in the program in the future.

Grades will be checked to see if student athletes are academically eligible from their respective schools.
