Daggett Shuler Proud to Partner with NC Fusion in Support of Youth Development

At Daggett Shuler, we believe in the power of community for growth and opportunity. That’s why we are thrilled to have our partnership with NC Fusion, which involves being the youth program’s soccer game-day jersey sponsor. This collaboration represents more than just a sponsorship; it’s about supporting a home-grown sports organization dedicated to young athletes’ growth and development in the Triad and across North Carolina.

A Commitment to Youth Development

NC Fusion provides young athletes with opportunities to develop on and off the field. Their mission is clear: to positively impact lives through sport, fostering a mindset of continuous improvement, personal growth, and leadership. These values resonate deeply with us at Daggett Shuler, as we are committed to supporting the Triad community, especially with initiatives that empower youth and promote positive change.

As a part of the Triad community for decades and alongside our Safe Sober program, we understand how important it is to invest in the future of our young people. NC Fusion’s values align perfectly with ours, and we are excited about our partnership. By supporting this incredible soccer program, we reinforce our commitment to helping young people grow into thoughtful, responsible, and successful individuals.

NC Fusion doesn’t just teach kids how to play soccer; it teaches them how to approach life. Whether on the pitch or in the classroom, NC Fusion instills in every player a sense of self-assurance and determination, preparing them to face life’s challenges confidently.

A Personal Connection to the Game

Executive Partner and Co-Founder, Griff Shuler, has a lifelong love for soccer. He was an Academic All-American soccer player at King University in Tennessee, and his passion for the game has continued to grow over the years. Soccer has played a significant role in Griff’s life, shaping his values of teamwork, discipline, and perseverance, which he applies to his hard work for Daggett Shuler clients every day.

Griff’s daughter also played for Fusion Soccer throughout high school, making this partnership even more meaningful to him personally. It’s an honor for us at Daggett Shuler to contribute to an organization that has positively impacted Griff’s and many other local families.

Supporting Operation Triad Play

In addition to our role as jersey sponsor for NC Fusion, we are also proud to be the Primary Sponsor of Operation Triad Play. This initiative from Beyond Sports NC, which is a sub-organization of NC Fusion, seeks to provide sports equipment to children that police officers encounter during their daily work. The goal is simple but powerful: use sports equipment to foster positive, meaningful interactions between kids and the police officers who serve and protect them.

By offering kids the opportunity to engage in sports, Operation Triad Play creates a unique way for young people to connect with law enforcement in a positive and uplifting environment. This program reminds us of sports’ impact on building bridges within our community.

Looking Forward

At Daggett Shuler, we are proud to be part of this amazing circle of support for NC Fusion. Through this collaboration, we will continue to champion youth development, promote positive interactions in our community, and support local athletes as they strive to reach their full potential—on the field and in life. Together, we will continue to build a brighter future for the young people who will one day lead our community.
