<div>Help Us Build the Next Generation of Leaders
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At Built From Scratch (BFS), we believe every young person deserves the opportunity to discover their potential, develop their talents, and build a successful future for kids 12+ in the DMV—regardless of their family's financial circumstances.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Through BFS Elite Sports and BFS Creative Leadership, we provide safe, engaging, and inspiring programs that empower youth to grow as athletes, artists, creators, entrepreneurs, and leaders.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our mission goes beyond winning games or learning new skills. We are building confident, disciplined, and creative young people who are prepared to lead in their schools, communities, and future careers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation helps provide opportunities for young athletes by funding:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>* Team uniforms and equipment
</div>
<div>* Tournament registration fees
</div>
<div>* Travel and transportation
</div>
<div>* Hotel accommodations for overnight tournaments
</div>
<div>* Training equipment and practice resources
</div>
<div>* Financial assistance for families in need
</div>
<div>* Scholarships so every child has the opportunity to participate
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support also helps equip the next generation of creative leaders through hands-on programs in:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>* DJing
</div>
<div>* Podcasting
</div>
<div>* Photography
</div>
<div>* Videography
</div>
<div>* Fashion Design
</div>
<div>* Digital Media &amp; Content Creation
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funds will help purchase essential equipment including:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>* DJ controllers and speakers
</div>
<div>* Laptops and music production software
</div>
<div>* Cameras and video equipment
</div>
<div>* Podcast microphones, mixers, and recording equipment
</div>
<div>* Lighting and studio equipment
</div>
<div>* Sewing machines, fabrics, and fashion design supplies
</div>
<div>* Editing software and creative technology
</div>
<div>* Classroom materials and creative workstations
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These experiences give young people the opportunity to discover passions that can become careers while developing communication, leadership, teamwork, entrepreneurship, and technical skills.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why We Need Your Help
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Many of the families we serve face financial barriers that make extracurricular opportunities difficult to access. We never want a child to miss out because they cannot afford equipment, travel, program fees, or supplies.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your generosity helps us:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>* Remove financial barriers for families
</div>
<div>* Expand access to sports and creative education
</div>
<div>* Purchase high-quality equipment and technology
</div>
<div>* Create safe, engaging learning environments
</div>
<div>* Reach more youth throughout our community
</div>
<div>* Continue growing programs that change lives
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation, no matter the size, creates opportunities that extend far beyond the basketball court or classroom. You're investing in confidence, leadership, creativity, education, and brighter futures.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you're unable to contribute financially, you can still make a tremendous impact by sharing this campaign with your friends, family, coworkers, and community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Together, we can ensure every child has the opportunity to learn, create, compete, and lead.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for believing in the mission of Built From Scratch and helping us build a future where every young person has the tools and opportunities to succeed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>*Together, we're Building Athletes. Building Creators. Building Leaders. Building Community. One Child at a Time.
