PAST EVENTS
Celebrating the moments, milestones, and people who helped us change the game.
Our Inaugural Game Changer Classic Golf Tournament brought golfers, local businesses, and community supporters together at Hillcrest Country Club for a day of friendly competition, memorable moments, and meaningful impact. From exciting on-course challenges to generous community support, the tournament raised $19,000 to help advance the mission of Lubbock Game Changers. More than a day on the golf course, it was another opportunity to invest in our youth and help create a brighter future for the next generation of Game Changers.

Performance Mindset Camp Building Leaders Beyond the Game
Our Performance Mindset Camp brought together 20 selected student-athlete leaders for an afternoon focused on mental toughness, confidence, leadership, and personal growth. Through interactive sessions and meaningful conversations, these young athletes were challenged to strengthen their mindset, recognize their potential, and embrace what it means to be a Game Changer — both on and off the court. Because being a Game Changer is about more than how you play. It's about how you lead.
