COACH WHITE’S IMPACT ON THE KO BROS ALL STAR GAME
As we approach our annual KO Bros All-Star Game, we recognize the profound impact that Coach Anthony White had on our lives, and it is with utmost respect and intentionality that we embark on the task of honoring him and his family. This responsibility is not taken lightly, as we understand the importance of being as impactful and intentional as Coach White himself was. In our tribute to Coach White and his family, we have focused on three primary pillars: community impact, ensuring Coach White remains an integral part of the game, and honoring his enduring legacy and family. Our commitment is unwavering, and we strive to create a meaningful tribute that resonates not only now but for generations to come.
impacting the community
Coach White was a firm believer in providing access—leveling the playing field and breaking down barriers to create opportunities for youth in underserved communities. This belief, rooted in his commitment to equality, remains a guiding principle for us. The Coach White Scholarship, an embodiment of his spirit, is dedicated to student-athletes who exemplify Coach White's values of selflessness, charisma, and dedication to excellence both on and off the field. Each year, during our KO Bros All-Star Game, this scholarship will be awarded to a deserving sophomore or junior student-athlete, ensuring that Coach White's legacy of access and empowerment endures.
Incorporating Coach White's spirit in the game
In a heartfelt tribute to Coach Anthony White's lasting impact, we have designed a distinctive patch that will be worn proudly over the hearts of every player during the KO Bros All-Star Game. Inspired by the revered "Captain" patch seen in the NFL, our "Captain" patch takes on a unique meaning. In our rendition, the "C" represents "Coach," bearing Coach Anthony White's name in the center. The three stars encircling it symbolize his enduring legacy—his beloved wife San, son Anthony II, and daughter OliviaGrace. Outlined in gold, the patch pays homage to Coach White's 15+ years of leadership and captaincy within our community. Most players will wear the KO Bros Black Coach Anthony White patch, a symbol of honor bestowed by one's peers. Additionally, every player at the Safety positions will wear the Utah Red patch, representing Coach White's alma mater and the position that he held dear throughout his high school and college career. This patch serves as a poignant reminder of Coach White's continued presence, right where he loved to be—on the playing field with us.
Coach Anthony White's impact extended far beyond the field; he was a mentor, leader, and father figure to countless players and youth throughout his lifetime. Recognizing that coaches often find themselves caring for numerous kids beyond their own, Coach White's dedication was truly exceptional. In honoring his legacy, we acknowledge that family is at the heart of it all. Coach White's wife, San, and his children, Anthony II and OliviaGrace, are his enduring legacy. To support their future endeavors and education, we are proud to announce that every year, a portion of the proceeds from our annual KO Bros All-Star Game will be dedicated to Coach White's family, contributing to a college fund that echoes his commitment to nurturing the next generation both on and off the field. It is our small way of expressing gratitude for the profound impact Coach White had on us all.
