Help support a youth basketball team !!

Donation protected


My name is Mel but the boys call me "Coach M". I’ve been running an AAU high school basketball team called “Positive Energy” for the past 7 years. We have had success over the years winning THREE championships!

The team spends the summer participating in various tournaments around the five boroughs. Most of the boys come from different neighborhoods, bringing diversity to our group and I admire that these boys can come together and have winning success despite the negative things around them off the court.

I have independently funded the team the entire time. However, expenses do catch up when you are operating alone. The fundraising goal is $3,500 to cover tournament expenses, including league fees, referee fees, and travel fares. Please consider helping these boys this summer as we continue to use basketball as a tool and a safe place to express themselves!

This upcoming summer is even more special because the very first cohort will now be in their last year of High School. Please help me make their last season with me a memorable one!
