About

13th Annual Team Challenge Shoot-a-thon

Support a New Heights student-athlete today!


New Heights is excited to host our 13th Annual Team Challenge Shoot-a-thon on Saturday, June 6.


Team Challenge is one of the most important ways our community rallies behind New Heights student-athletes each year. Every student-athlete, coach, and GM will step to the free throw line and shoot 100 free throws in support of their team and the programs that help them grow on the court, in the classroom, and in life.


You can support a New Heights student-athlete, coach, or GM by making a pledge for every MADE free throw they make or by making a one-time gift. Pledges can range from 25 cents to $10 per made basket, and every contribution helps.


All proceeds support New Heights’ year-round youth-development programs, including College Bound, The Bridge, and our basketball season. Your support helps keep these programs accessible for families while providing student-athletes with academic support, mentoring, college and career guidance, basketball development, and a strong community of care.


Thank you for helping us rally behind our student-athletes and fund another incredible season.


If you would like to donate via check, ACH or through a Donor Advised Fund (DAF), please reach out to Kyle DeMerlis at kdemerlis@newheightsnyc.org or (267) 642-0531. Thanks for your generous support.
