We have raised funds for new equipment and are working to get new basketballs donated, but, an even bigger problem is storing them. Coaching at a highly populated inner-city school makes it difficult to ensure the storage of our equipment.

It is a problem that most inner city schools face. The fact is that although the items being stolen are a major problem, the effects of not having basketballs to compete is an even bigger problem because it takes away from the student-athletes who are working so hard to succeed.

By obtaining a basketball storage unit, we will be able to ensure the safety of our basketballs and that we will be able to use those same basketballs for years and years to come. It is frustrating working so hard to get the materials needed for success and then having them stolen. Our student-athletes do not deserve that type of treatment.

With your help in supplying a basketball storage unit for our student-athletes you will ensure the safety of our basketballs and, in turn, ensure that our student-athletes are equipped with the tools needed to succeed. Thank you again.
