Coaching our boys basketball team has been one of the most rewarding, yet challenging, experiences of my career. Over the past two seasons, I have personally invested in our program by purchasing equipment, providing meals, covering team needs, and creating additional opportunities for our student-athletes to participate in offseason games, leagues, and tournaments.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI have made these investments because I believe our young men deserve access to the same opportunities as student-athletes at schools with significantly more resources. For many of our players, basketball is more than just a sport. It is a source of motivation, discipline, mentorship, and connection to their school and community. It also provides an opportunity for them to develop important life skills such as teamwork, accountability, leadership, and perseverance.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe majority of our students come from low-income families, and recent reductions in school funding have made it increasingly difficult for our school to fully support the basketball program. While I have been willing to personally fill those gaps, that will not be financially sustainable this year.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe support would have a direct and meaningful impact on our student-athletes, school and community. The partnership would help provide basketball equipment, uniforms, hear and league fees, and opportunities to compete during the offseason. More importantly, it would allow us to create a program where financial circumstances do not determine whether a young man can participate or experience the opportunities that basketball can provide.","fullyFundedDate":1746786889698,"projectUrl":"project/support-our-schools-basketball-program/9106441/","projectTitle":"Support Our School’s Basketball Program With Essential Resources","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Garvin","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9765123"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_865","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":429,"numTeachers":35,"percentFrplEligible":90,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":59,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":29,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"12.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":76.9,"schoolId":865,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Brooklyn High School for Law & Technical on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Brooklyn High School for Law & Technical","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/acorn-school-for-social-justice/865"}
