ABOUT US
GameAbove (geym-uh-buhv) adjective. to operate at a higher level or function beyond the expected or standard level.
Our chairman, Keith J. Stone, desired to build a brand based on doing more good. His mission was to help bring out the best in the businesses and people he encountered. This philosophy is at the core of GameAbove.
In November 2019, Stone launched GameAbove as a philanthropic brand under his family office, CapStone Holdings Inc. He focused the giving efforts on his alma mater, Eastern Michigan University. He brought together 24 other diverse, spirited, and accomplished EMU alums who shared his vision to see the university succeed.
Origin Story
“Our approach is simple: go for greatness and think big.”
- Keith Stone
2020 - 2024
Since its inception, we’ve helped significantly advance academic and athletic programs at EMU in recent years. We can also proudly say that we’ve supported several special causes, locally and nationally. For example, Gamers Outreach, a charity that helps restore a sense of joy and normalcy in the lives of hospitalized children through video games, and the Mr. October Foundation, which focuses on improving STEM education and workforce pipeline for underserved youth.
As our giving efforts grew, the vision for the brand grew.
With the strength of our holdings company and a talented team, we scaled the GameAbove brand to “do good” and strive for greatness in other ways. That was the start of the GameAbove family of brands our partners, friends, and supporters experience today.
Our Renewed Purpose
Today, our vision has broadened to four strong GameAbove brands encompassing various philanthropic activities and for-profit ventures in sports entertainment, media, and capital initiatives. Our philosophy remains intact; we will bring forth greatness.
