FEATURED INITIATIVE

2026 Toni Burnett Exposure Tour

The Toni Burnett Basketball Tour 2026 continues PLAY’s commitment to creating meaningful athletic development opportunities for secondary school athletes in Guyana.

Now in its fourth year of programming, the tour is designed to support young athletes through high-level basketball instruction, competitive engagement, mentorship, and leadership development.

This year’s program will take place in Guyana from July 29 to August 4, 2026, bringing training sessions and basketball development opportunities to student-athletes across multiple communities.

Through this initiative, PLAY continues to honor the legacy of co-founder Toni Burnett by investing in youth, strengthening athletic pathways, and helping young people grow both on and off the court.

What We Create

Skills for Life Through Sports & Arts

Athletic Growth

Training, camps, and sports-based experiences that build skill, discipline, teamwork, and confidence.

Cultural Exposure

Opportunities for youth to travel, explore new environments, and expand how they see themselves and the world.

Leadership & Life Skills

Workshops, mentorship, and learning experiences that support personal growth beyond performance.

Exposure Can Change the Way a Young Person Sees Their Future

For many youth, opportunity is not about talent — it’s about access. PLAY helps bridge that gap by creating experiences that encourage young people to dream bigger, lead with confidence, and carry what they learn back into their communities.
