Raising Youth Through Sports and Ed
Donation protected
Basketball like most sports teaches focus, discipline and teamwork. But most of all it brings kids together and builds relationships. It is a wonderful feeling when you can bring youth together from different backgrounds and areas that normally would not be friends and watch them smile, encourage, cheer, and forge bonds that otherwise would not exist.
Unfortunately due to the socio-economic restraints surrounding these neighborhoods and households, the opportunity to be a part of a team is not available to a vast amount of youths.
I was blessed this past summer with the chance to help provide 15 kids ages 9-17 with that experience. I thought,” What if I could help make these opportunities available to more kids?” providing more children with not only a chance to be a part of a team. But also to receive mentoring, tutoring and sadly for some meals as well. Unfortunately, breakfast and lunch during school time are the only meals some kids look forward to.
We organized an incredible program for children ages 6-17 that will offer beginner and advanced basketball clinics, both outside and in house basketball competitions and tournaments for the children. Throughout the program they will be honored for their commitment and dedication to both the program and school as well as giving them the life skills and tools to go out and become leaders within their communities.
We offered this free program to the kids and the response was tremendous, nearly 150 kids have enrolled. The unfortunate part is we cannot afford to provide this program without YOUR help. It is because of my commitment to these children I am humbly asking for your assistance in raising $5000 for this program.
I am very much looking forward to your participation and would like to thank you in advance.
