Help Our Rising Kings Reach Puma Nationals

Hi everyone,

We are the Rising Kings, a dedicated and hardworking AAU basketball team with a passion for the game and a commitment to excellence. Our team has trained tirelessly throughout the season, and our hard work has paid off— After competing in a 20 games regular season (with only 3 teams representing NYC) we have finished in the top 50 out of 200 teams to qualify and earn an invitation to compete in the prestigious Puma Nationals in Nebraska! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our team to showcase our skills on a national stage, gain invaluable experience, and compete against some of the best youth basketball teams in the country. However, getting to Nebraska requires significant funding for travel, accommodations, food, and tournament fees. We are reaching out to our community, friends, family, and supporters to help us make this dream a reality. Your generous contributions will go directly towards:

• Travel Expenses: Transportation for the team to and from Nebraska

• Accommodations: Lodging for the players and coaches during the tournament

• Meals: Ensuring our team is well-fed and energized

• Tournament Fees: Covering the cost of participating in Puma Nationals Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to achieving our goal.

We are incredibly grateful for any support you can provide. With your help, we can make our mark at Puma Nationals and represent our community with pride and determination. Thank you for believing in our team and helping us reach for the stars. Let’s Rise!

Sincerely,

Coach Chip
