Three Basketeers is a nonprofit in Georgia that showcases the special gifts of adults with developmental disabilities.  

The original Three Basketeers, Luke, Daniel and Brett, are young men on the autism spectrum. As they were aging out of the school system, they and their parents joined forces with a vocational coach to develop a business that would showcase their skills and provide meaningful work for them. Our Basketeers have MANY strengths such as artistic ability, organizational skills, and attention to detail, which are the perfect fit for our business.

Our mission is twofold:  To provide our customers with unique gifts curated by our Basketeers to show love when words aren't enough, and to provide meaningful work for our Basketeers and business partners who also employ adults with developmental disabilities.  We hope to grow to be a major employer of people with special needs in the Atlanta area.  In fact, our current fundraising campaign is called Project: Beaucoup Basketeers.  We need your help to grow!

Each of our gifts contains items made by our Basketeers or partner organizations that employ adults with special needs. Choose our original Gift Baskets, shippable "Boxes by Basketeers", our popular little "Basket Bits", or support the cause with "Basketeer Wear" showcasing the Basketeers' designs. By providing a financial gift, sharing our mission, or purchasing a gift from us, you are providing meaningful work for countless individuals with special needs!

Basketeer Brett is the artist behind the Heart Wreath design on many of our products.  He loves making Custom Tile Picture Frames because spelling has always been his favorite, and he works to make our gift baskets picture perfect.  Brett also enjoys sports on the lake such as swimming, paddle boarding, and jet skiing.

Basketeer Daniel enjoys telling everyone about our products as our spokesperson.  He is working toward a career in voice-overs, and you can hear a sample of his talent if you call us on the phone.  Daniel graduated from Georgia Cyber Academy in 2018 and is a big fan of LSU football and Louisiana cooking.
Basketeer Luke
is our '"artist in residence" whose fun designs grace many of our products, from the charming house on our Welcome Home notecards to the Gator Chef on our cutting boards to the festive clown on our Happy Birthday Cards.  Luke loves swimming, traveling, hiking and playing basketball in his free time.

Basketeer Kyle is the newest member of the team. He loves drawing, painting, glass fusion and doing anything creative. He also loves order and routine. In his free time, Kyle enjoys tending his vegetable garden, woodworking and car repair with his dad, and assisting in the planning and preparing of the family meals with his mom.

Our plan is to grow to provide meaningful work for "Beaucoup Basketeers"!  Thank you for your support!
