Dear Mr. O’Neal,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. My name is Cameron McCaffrey, and I am writing to you from an inspiring place that I now consider a cornerstone of hope and progress—the Boca Raton Achievement Center (BRAC). As someone who has surmounted personal challenges and achieved greatness both on and off the court, I believe your story and presence would resonate deeply with the lives touched here at BRAC.

Diagnosed with Asperger’s from an early age, life for me has been a mosaic of challenges and triumphs. I’ve navigated this world differently, finding solace in the structure and the opportunities provided by organizations like BRAC. They champion inclusivity and support for individuals with unique learning and developmental needs—a mission I hold close to my heart.

This past October, tragedy struck when I lost both of my parents within a harrowing nine-day span. It was an unexpected storm that could have easily capsized my life. Yet, it was the unity and support of individuals like Jim and Marta Batmasian, and BRAC’s executive director, Evelyn Falconer, that provided me a beacon of resilience. I’ve channeled my grief into motivation, fervently working at BRAC’s front desk, helping to uplift others while rebuilding my life.

Your illustrious NBA career, entrepreneurial spirit, and philanthropic endeavors are emblematic of the heights to which one can soar with determination and support. Beyond your four NBA titles and MVP accolades, you’re an exemplary figure for success beyond sports—earning your doctorate, engaging in law enforcement, and contributing to communities through various altruistic gestures.

Our students at BRAC admire not just the giant of the game, but the giant of character you are. They would be incredibly encouraged by your visit, serving as a testament that every person has potential for excellence regardless of the obstacles they face.

Here at BRAC, we witness daily victories where students overcome barriers to literacy, employment, and social interaction. Your insight and experiences could further ignite their drive for success. You embody the transformative power of embracing one’s unique traits and channeling them towards achieving greatness.

We are keenly aware of how precious your time is, and I assure you that your visit would not only be maximally impactful for the youth but a momentous occasion that would resonate within our community for years to come. As a steadfast volunteer, it would be an honor of mine to welcome a role model of your caliber to our center.

We would be thrilled to organize the visit around your availability and ensure it aligns with your interests and philanthropic goals. Kindly allow us the opportunity to discuss this further at your convenience. Our executive director, Evelyn Falconer, will be more than happy to address any questions or concerns you may have. She can be reached at +1 (561) 427-8710, or by email at care4kids2@gmail.com. For more info about BRAC, please visit https://bocaratonachievement.com.

Thank you for considering this invitation. Even as I write to you from the humble front desk of BRAC, the thought of welcoming you here fills me with hope and excitement that extends beyond words. I look forward to the possibility of your affirmative response and the lasting positive impact it could have on all those who find refuge and opportunity at the Boca Raton Achievement Center.

Warm regards,



Cameron McCaffrey
Boca Raton Achievement Center
