Basketball & educational programs for young men in Delaware Life is all about the choices we make. However, not everyone is fortunate to have the resources or guidance to make the choices that are right for them.
My own experiences have led me to understand how, especially when we’re young, getting the right advice and support can make a world of a difference. With that in mind, I set out to help the young men in Delaware to find a way to channel all their anger, frustration and energy into something fruitful and productive, and started a basketball education program.
As a part of this program my goal is to take these young men to Tennessee, Georgia, Atlantic City, NJ, for both basketball and educational trips that will serve as a way to help them focus on both personal and professional growth. The program is also intended to offer masterclasses that will help develop character, leadership and communication skills to set them up for success when they step out in the world.
Research has proven that sports can really bring people together, help them be more focused, productive, and find their purpose in life by keeping them from negative outlets such as violence. This program therefore is an investment into the future of these young men with a lot of potential.
To bring this program to fruition We need your support to raise a total of $75,000 all of which will go towards the following:
Gym Rentals $27,000
Uniforms & Sneakers $5,000
Audio & Visual $5,000
Flights & Hotel $7,000
Educational Trips $10,000
Food $7,000
Assistant Coach $3,000
Founder salary $5,000
Contingency $6,000
I am grateful to any and all donations you make in getting us closer to the goal. Your support to this cause means more than just helping a basketball program. It is a way to help shape the future of young men who don’t know their purpose, who come from a background of violence and neglect but are desperate to make a positive, lasting change in their lives. Let us come together to reinstate belief in fact that where we come from does not have to determine where we go.
Thank you!
