Marcus' Drive to Philippine Basketball

Hi, my name is Marcus Ronquillo, from Mississauga, ON, Canada. I am a Grade 11 student and a member of the varsity basketball team of Father John Redmond Catholic Secondary School. I am also a member of the Bayan team playing in the Ontario Basketball League U17 Boys division.

Embarking on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I am reaching out for your support to help make my Canada Central team's dream trip to the Philippines for the upcoming Sinag Liga Asya (SLA) Junior World Showcase and other tournaments this July, a reality. This journey transcends the realm of sports; it's about passion, perseverance, and the pursuit of excellence.

Competing in the Philippines, a nation deeply rooted in basketball culture, is an opportunity to challenge ourselves against top-tier competition, learn from legendary players, and immerse ourselves in a rich and vibrant basketball environment. However, realizing this dream comes with financial challenges, and this is where your support becomes crucial.

Your contributions will directly fund travel expenses, tournament fees, and accommodations, ensuring that financial constraints do not stand in the way of our collective dream. By supporting us, you are not merely contributing to a basketball trip; you are investing in the growth, resilience, and camaraderie of a group of passionate young athletes.

Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to the courts of the Philippines, where we hope to make our mark, forge unforgettable memories, and represent our community with pride. Join me in this journey, be a part of my story, and help me turn our dreams into reality. Your support means the world to me as I dribble, shoot, and strive for success in the Philippines.
