<div>Hi everyone,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are SC’s Finest, and we are excited to share a dream that’s bigger than basketball. It’s about representing our state, uplifting our community, and giving South Carolina the spotlight it deserves on a national stage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are fundraising to create a South Carolina-based team for The Basketball Tournament (TBT) 2026, and we need your help to make it happen. The TBT is a nationally televised, winner-take-all tournament with a $1 million prize, featuring elite players, overseas pros, and even former NBA talent. But what sets it apart is its heart, it brings together fans, hometown pride, and the love of the game like nothing else.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our team will be built entirely with players who either played college basketball in South Carolina or grew up here in-state. These are guys who’ve put in the work, represented our schools, and carried our communities with pride. Now, we want to bring them together under one banner to represent all of South Carolina on a national stage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is about more than just hoops. It’s about:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bringing South Carolina talent to the national spotlight
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Creating opportunities for players who still have a lot to prove
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Inspiring the next generation of hoopers across our cities and towns
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Giving fans a team to rally behind and be proud of
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donations will go toward:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Team entry fees and registration
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Uniforms, travel, and lodging for players
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gym time and training facilities
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Media, branding, and outreach to grow the fanbase
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We want this to be our team, something the entire state can get behind, from the Lowcountry to the Upstate. Every dollar counts, and every bit of support brings us closer to putting South Carolina on the TBT map.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for believing in this vision. Let’s build something special together.
</div>
<div><br />
