The Edgar G. Story
My name is Edgar Garibay. I am nothing more and nothing less than an immigrant kid who never lost hope. I was born in Ocotlan, Jalisco, Mexico. At the age of three, my parents moved to Compton, California for an opportunity at the American Dream. Growing up in Compton wasn't easy, but at the time, it was all I knew. With gang violence and drugs at every corner, it was hard to stay focused. At a young age, with no mentor and no guidance, in a city like Compton, I was headed in the wrong direction. It wasn't until the age of thirteen that basketball came into my life and saved me. Basketball saved me from the drugs, from the violence, and from myself. I owe this sport everything. And that’s why I’m here paying forward everything this sport gave me through Edgar G. Oficial!
Edgar G. Oficial is for the dreamers and the believers. It was created to offer the next generation hope—a chance to believe again, and a sense that someone does care. I'm a walking testimony, living proof that there is more out there. I believe that if basketball can save me, it can save these kids too. And I refuse to let anyone tell them otherwise.
