<div>Chief Sealth Basketball Launches “Play It Forward,” A Community Effort to Boost Students and Spirit
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Investing in the next generation of leaders one game, one goal, one act of service at a time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Something special is taking shape at Chief Sealth International High School this fall.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The girls’ and boys' basketball teams have united to launch a new initiative called Play It Forward, a community-based campaign that blends basketball, service, and hope. The goal is to raise $8,000 to equip student-athletes with needed gear while also inspiring them to give back through community service.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How It Works</strong>
</div>
<div>For every $100 raised, players will complete one hour of service, tutoring younger students, volunteering at local events, or helping neighbors in need. The idea is simple but powerful: when the community invests in its youth, those same young people invests right back in the community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why It Matters</strong>
</div>
<div>Like many of our public schools, Chief Sealth has faced some difficult times in recent years, yet the students continue to demonstrate remarkable talent, heart, and leadership on and off the court. The students are smart, resilient, and full of potential. They just need to see that their community believes in them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Play It Forward is designed to give these students visible reminders of that pride. From warm-ups, backpacks, and uniforms to transportation to games outside of their home league. These things remind them that they belong, that they matter, and that they represent something bigger than themselves.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“Basketball is just the starting point,” said Boys Head Coach Ja'Lyn Combs. “We’re building young men and women who understand discipline, service, and pride in where they come from. Every hour of community work our players do matters. It’s how we change the story for Sealth because there is nothing like giving back to the community that shows up to support you.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>More Then A Fundraiser</strong>
</div>
<div>Both the Boys and Girls coaches are deeply invested in mentoring student-athletes beyond basketball, helping them build confidence, character, and community awareness.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“This is more than a fundraiser,” added Girls Head Coach Will Pablo. “It’s about keeping the community spirit going and helping these young people build pride, unity, and a sense of belonging, reminding everyone that Chief Sealth's story is one of growth, resilience, and strength."
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Community members are invited to donate, attend games, and follow the students’ progress as they “play it forward” through service projects and team milestones.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because when our students win, the Community wins too.
</div>
