New York City Has The Largest Income Inequality Gap In The Nation.
This gap largely affects Black and Latino families.
Black and Brown children in New York City do not have the same opportunity as other children.
We believe basketball provides an environment with more equity for children to learn and grow.
We’re working with Kids In The Game to cover the AAU fees for Black and Brown children that show passion for spending time in the gym.
Some statistics around Kids In The Game and how basketball helps the youth:
1. 100% of KING Hoops Players improve in one or more of the following categories after 1 season of participation: Self-Confidence, Social Connection, and Goal Orientation.
2. 92% of players feel like they have an adult or coach in the program that believes in their ability to succeed.
3. 88% strengthened peer relationships or met someone that wouldn't have without the program
4. If a child grows up under the poverty line they are 30% less likely to participate in youth sports and gain the valuable life skills mentioned above.
5. 72% of all KING Hoops players require financial aid in order to be able to participate in the program.
