Gavin and Gallagher Placide Basketball Journey

Donation protected
Hi I'm Rachel, blessed mother of Gavin and Gallagher Placide, my two rising star 14 year old basketball players out of Denver, CO. As everyone knows, most parents sacrifice whatever it takes to help their children reach goals and ambitions. As a single hardworking mother of 3 top athletes, I need your help. I am reaching out now in search of sponsors to help send my talented 6’7” 8th grade twins to their upcoming 4 big basketball tournaments with their nationally ranked club team the Colorado Hawks 2026, also playing under the name Next Level and Hoops Elite depending on the circuit.  Gavin and Gallagher have a big tournament coming up in Orlando in two short weeks and in Dallas a week after that, with finals TBD in June/July.  Please help them get their airline tickets and hotels secured! 
I do everything I can to get their sister Gabi to her travel club volleyball tournaments and the twins to their travel tournaments too and it can be difficult. This is what I work hard for and it brings my heart joy to give them the opportunity and exposure on these awesome club teams they are blessed to be a part of. I am humble enough to admit we need some assistance and sponsors.
The twins are playing in the Nike circuit with Madehoops this summer. To tell you a little about them if you don’t already know, Gavin and Gallagher are 8th-grade identical twins standing 6'7" tall and have made a name for themselves within the basketball community. They also work hard to make the Principal’s Honor Roll each middle school semester. They LOVE the game of basketball and are sweet and respectful boys in addition to being gifted athletes and students. Their futures are bright and we appreciate you being a part of it. Gavin, Gallagher and I thank you in advance for anything you can do to help with their travel expenses to Orlando and Dallas next month in May, as well as 2 locations to be determined for June and July. Thank you for supporting them in their journey. 
 We will continuously update with their team’s success throughout the season, and of course I love posting their highlights! Thank you for your help and support of Gavin and Gallagher class of 2026 small forwards!
