Education coupled with the sport of basketball promote collaboration, teamwork, and critical thinking-all skills needed for 21st century success.

Long-Term Impact

The program is designed to provide school supplies, basketball, and life skills to over 500 youth throughout the year. this program will provide students with skills needed to become model citizens who can make a positive impact on their community. Additionally, the program will help build positive relationships amongst parents, communities, and schools.
