Help Renovate Hood's House of Hoops

Donation protected
Coach Jamil Hood is working to better our community.  He has partnered with the Frank Chapman Memorial Institute (FMCI) to rehabilitate the recreation center at 340 First Street in Albany.

We had the pleasure of attending the opening and celebration of the newly renovated Hood's House of Hoops (HHH) recreation center and we were incredibly impressed by the transformation. The young people in attendance spoke highly of Coach Hood and the newly renovated facility. Community members call the facility "a beacon of hope". Coach envisions a space for more than just sports. "There will be  reading programs, youth services, and senior activities".

Coach Hood has raised thousands of dollars and the facility to date is beautiful, but the vision is not yet complete. Coach Hood needs our help -- the community's help.   He is in the fourth quarter, up by 2 with two minutes left.  He has called the play and needs us to score! Let's do this dollar by dollar. No amount is too small and no amount is too large.

Let's come through for Coach Hood as he has come through for the community. Let's come through for the community. Let's come through for all the young people whose lives will change through participation at this recreation center.

This gofundme seeks to raise money to complete the mission. This gofundme is being set up to support the completion of this project.  All proceeds will go directly toward purchasing goods and services needed to make this project come to fruition.
