My name is Chester Taylor and I am a volunteer basketball coach at Blessed Mother Theresa High School in Malvern. I Coach the kids from 3pm to 7 pm practicing, doing homework, study hall etc.

I am raising money to help build the basketball program at the school. The kids range in age from ages 14-19 years old. This is a delicate age and I feel they need help with discipline, and to be taught how to respect themselves foremost, as we'll as others around them 

The money  we raise will be used to run the program like an after school program. It will include athletic training, basketball training, and  after school tutoring . Since the kids don't have resources and can't afford to buy supplies, I will need money to purchase training equipment, practice jerseys, after school meals, and shoes for the players. By the end of this upcoming school, year I want to prepare the seniors for post -secondary education and give the younger student athletes the desire to also pursue an education. Academics are of the utmost important to us, so we will makes sure these kids have grades in Good standing before they play.

I will need to raise these funds in the next few weeks so that I can organise all details and have the program up and running by the end of August 2016. 

Getting this program funded would mean a lot to me, as most of the kids come from low income housing and they don't have the money to pay for any of the things that we may  need. I want to help them formulate a plan for the future,  so that in turn, they may be able to help their families live better lives.


I never had a dad growing up, and with a program like this, I want to be able to make a different in kids' lives and show them the path to success.

Help spread the word!
