<p>While our country continues to rebound from one of the most hard-hitting economic recessions of our generation, many fiscal uncertainties remain for many of us.</p>
<p>In the wake of an uncertain future for the NBA, the Aaron Brooks Foundation is focused on developing youth both on and off the court and raising awareness through fundraisers, events and camps.</p>
<p>Going into the 2011-2012 school year, the foundation will be running three after school programs in Greater King County (WA).  These programs provide middle school students tutoring, life-skill workshops and physical training.  This fall we are happy to place our programs in <a href="http://www.hsd401.org/ourschools/middleschools/pacific/" target="_blank">Pacific Middle School</a>, <a href="http://cmsweb1.lcps.org/mercer/site/default.asp" target="_blank">Mercer Middle School</a> and <a href="http://www.seattle.gov/parks/centers/bitterlake/directions.htm" target="_blank">Bitter Lake Community Center</a> with more locations in the works!</p>
<p>As the NBA lock-out continues to place added pressure on owners, managers and players, <a href="http://www.nba.com/home/playerfile/aaron_brooks/" target="_blank">Aaron Brooks</a> prepares himself to be a top contender in the league&#8230; <a href="http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=20387" target="_blank">more info</a></p>
<p><em>*Hope for the future&#8230;In 2009, while unemployment jumped from <a href="ftp://ftp.bls.gov/pub/special.requests/lf/aat1.txt" target="_blank">5.8% to 9.3%</a>, the Average American consumer spent roughly <a href="http://www.creditloan.com/infographics/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Where_money_goes_02.jpg" target="_blank">$2,700</a> on entertainment. </em></p>
<p>In 2011, our country shows signs of economic rebound in the most recent <a href="http://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CES0000000001?output_view=net_1mth" target="_blank">National employment, Hours, and Earnings from the current employment statistics survey</a>(US Dept of Labor)</p>
