Mervo Basketball Program
Donation protected
Mervo High School is the largest public high school in Baltimore City. As part of the 1,600 kids that attend the school, there are many student-athletes that are talented on the field and equally as talented within the classroom.
The varsity boys basketball team is raising funds to support their chances of continuing their education to earn college degrees and using basketball as one of the key methods to achieve this.
From July 9-10, our team will attend Hoop Group at Albright College (https://hoopgroup.com/elite/team-camp/). This is an ideal opportunity for our student-athletes to secure offers to play at the D3, D2, and D1 level, as there will be over 300 coaches in attendance over the course of the two days. Our players know that this is one of the better opportunities for them to have a path towards college and have been working all spring and summer to develop their basketball skills as well as their academic skills, specifically strengthening their essay writing.
We are raising money to fund the registration fees for our players ($2000). Aside from the Hoop Group Camp, we are also participating in a Fall League that will continue to give our student-athletes exposure to collegiate scouts and programs. Finally, we are looking to lessen the burden of team basketball shoes and gear for our players that will be purchased in November.
All of our student-athletes want the opportunity to attend college, see the world beyond Baltimore, and take the experience they received to help improve the lives of others. Basketball is one of the most effective ways for them to achieve these goals. Raising this money will be one step towards helping our student-athletes becoming college graduates, but also helping them realize what community, love, and the kindness of others can truly do.
