Luann is the reason Iowa Youth Basketball Foundation exists. Luann has a great passion for kids and helping them in life. As a result of a very difficult situation in losing a son as an young infant, Luann has since wanted to help kids and have an impact in their lives. She encouraged Dickson, her husband, to spend more time with their own kids, and so she encouraged him to coach them in basketball. This led to the creation of All Iowa Attack and after seeing how many kids the program impacted, has further developed into Iowa Youth Basketball Foundation itself.

Blake enjoys athletics of all types. He has a passion for seeing kids take advantage and succeed in the opportunities they are given. It is his desire to provide a Foundation for kids to learn about life through athletics, set themselves up to have a successful future after childhood and athletics, but to also have fun while they are kids. He believes the things the kids are learning and the things he learned through the Iowa Youth Basketball Foundation and things that shape futures, change lives and effect more people then just the kids themselves.
