Help Support the CM3 U16 Basketball Team

Dear Friends,

In the heart of Astoria, Queens, the Boys and Girls Club isn't just a place for CM3 to play basketball; it's where lives are shaped, character is built, and dreams are supported. For many, CM3 isn't just a team; it's a second home.

For years, CM3 has been a gateway to opportunity for the players, where they learn about commitment, hard work and friendship -- lessons that go well beyond the court. These opportunities have been possible because of subsidies that covered everything from tournaments to transportation, uniforms to meals. However, this year, the funding hasn't come through, leaving us to rely on our extended community for support. Without your help, the future of CM3 hangs in the balance.

Without funding, many of these talented players won't be able to continue playing at this level. It's not just about basketball; it's about losing a support system, mentorship, and opportunities to travel, play, and grow.

We're not just asking for donations; we're asking for your belief in these incredible boys and their phenomenal coaches and mentors, Tony and Frat. Your support can and will have a real impact:

* $5 could help cover gas for transportation to tournaments.

* $15 could provide a nutritious meal for a player.

* $100 ensures a player wears a uniform with pride.

* $200 secures a night in a hotel for two players during tournaments.

* $500 sponsors an entire tournament, showcasing their skills and hard work.

Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference. Together, let's ensure this invaluable resource continues to survive and thrive, offering hope, guidance, and opportunity to countless players.

Thank you for standing with us,

The CM3 Family
