Help the Collegedale Academy JV BOYS Basketball Team Reach the 2025 Newmyer Classic Invitational!

Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,

We are the Collegedale Academy JV BOYS basketball team, representing the coaches, players, and managers! This year, we’ve once again been given the incredible opportunity to participate in the '2025 Newmyer Classic Invitational Basketball Tournament' at Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Michigan, from January 30 to February 1. This is the highlight of our season and a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many of our players.

To make this dream a reality, we need your support! While we’ve been working hard all year through various fundraising efforts, we need a final push to cover the remaining expenses, including:

- Travel (buses/vans to Michigan)

- Lodging

- Meals

- Numerous other miscellaneous expenses

Our goal is to raise $4,000, which breaks down to $250 per team member. Since school operating funds do not cover the costs of athletics, we rely entirely on fundraising and generous donors like you to help make these opportunities possible.

Beyond the game, this trip represents so much more. As student - athletes we are learning essential life skills such as:

- Discipline

- Responsibility

- Accountability

- Teamwork

Even more importantly, we strive to reflect Christ in our actions both on and off the court. This tournament gives us the chance to grow as athletes, students, and witnesses for Christ in a competitive but uplifting environment.

Every dollar you contribute helps us get one step closer to this unforgettable experience. For example, $25 covers one days worth of meals for a team member, $50 covers travel expenses to / from Michigan for each player, $100 covers one team members lodging at the tournament , and $250 would sponsor one student athletes entire trip! But, whether you’re able to give $1, $50, $250, or simply share our story with others, your support means the world to us.

Thank you for believing in our students and their dreams. Together, we can make this season one they’ll never forget.

With gratitude,

The Collegedale Academy JV BOYS Basketball Team
