Founder William H. Dalzell III

Meet Our Founder

GameChangers was founded by William H. Dalzell III, who lives in North Augusta, South Carolina, with his wife and four children. Will owns multiple successful CSRA businesses and provides leadership in the community through his generosity and service.

Will’s heart for GameChangers is rooted in his own recovery from drugs in alcohol, from which he has been free since 2007. Will feels called to serve his brothers who are in search of a similar life-altering recovery rooted in faith.

The Story

Will envisioned a wooded refuge where men struggling with addiction can come together to learn a trade, receive counseling, and heal within an uplifting and tranquil environment.

The GameChangers property was secured in 2019 along with 501c3 non-profit status. In 2020 we accepted and graduated our inaugural group of men, some of which are now serving as part of our staff for future groups.

Our Core Values

Christ

Christ is Lord over all. We praise, honor, and glorify him in our recovery, and use His word as a guide for our daily lives.

Love

To be and show the love people need when life has tried to show them otherwise and they doubt love is still the way.

Change

This change comes from seeking the Lord with honesty, open-mindedness, and a willingness for daily recovery.

Moxie

The strength to get back up when people, situations or ideas try to knock us down. This is essential for lasting change.
