Help us support youth in sports! Currently there is a need to help with local BIPOC youth for the spring AAU basketball season. We have made an initial donation so they can get started for the season, and we are asking our membership and the community to consider donating toward the remaining $2,750. Participation in youth sports is VITAL for physical, emotional, and mental health, while teaching life skills and building community! Thanks to the fiscal sponsorship of Peace and Justice Center, this is a tax-deductible donation.
If you don’t want to donate online, please email treasurer2@naacprutland.org or risebball@yahoo.com for information to donate another way. We will update this post with progress towards our goal. Any funds collected in excess of this request will remain in a fund to support future similar needs for participation of BIPOC youth in sports within our membership counties served.
