Post-Graduate Academy, Basketball

Hello!


My name is Truman Newsome. I am a teacher in the Anchorage School District. In Anchorage, Alaska. I also work with the YMCA. I am helping my son, Iziah Sherman-Newsome, who is a top student/athlete from Anchorage raise money for a great Prep school, Impact Basketball Academy, in Las Vegas, Nevada. He is a very good student. He graduated high school with a 3.5 GPA and had a very successful SAT score of 1500. He also received numerous awards and accolades for his success in school and basketball.

The tuition of the school is $25,000 for a full year. The student/athletes get outstanding training daily by coaches who train high level college and pro basketball players throughout the year. Students are able to take online college classes and are trained on better study habits. Impact Academy also provides the student with a great game schedule. They play in front of top college programs. This gives them the chance to get seen by schools that otherwise would never see them in Alaska. Devon Bookert trained there for a year and he is now the starting point guard at Florida State University and Damon Sherman-Newsome trained there as well, he is currently playing Colgate University. They are receiving their educations on full athletic scholarships. Both Universities play at the highest level of collegiate basketball, so the program does do a fabulous job of getting kids into top colleges. My son has been working very hard this summer to raise as much money possible to go to this academy. Unfortunately $25,000 dollars is a great deal of money to come up with in such a short time. If we are able to raise Half of the tuition with your help, Iziah will be able to work during his school year next year to pay off his remaining debt.
Donations of any amount can be processed through this site. My son and me will be extremely grateful of any amount you can give. Iziah will make the most of this fantastic opportunity, and have the chance to get into a top university.


With Heartfelt Thanks,
Truman Newsome
