Friends, 

As most of you know, New Heights is a non-profit that I have been involved with since I got to New York City. Of the things that I have done in the City, New Heights is my proudest. Knowing that I impacted young students positively is humbling, and for that, I am thankful. I am off for my MBA in the fall, so this very well may be my last New Heights Shoot a Thon.

For those who are not familiar, New Heights NYC is an organization that aims to provide NYC student-athletes with opportunities to succeed on and off the court. 

Our mission is to educate and empower promising inner-city youth to be leaders, champions, and student-athletes by developing the skills necessary for success in high school, college, and life. New Heights creates opportunities and provides support for promising youth to fulfill their potential in the classroom, on the court, and in the community.

Personally, I work with some amazing students and the amazing staff at New Heights. The kids are the best part of the program - they are kind, smart, hard-working, and respectful. They just need a little help from those who have the capacity.

Thank you to everyone for their Shoot a Thon help last year, and I am hoping you will again this year. I will again be shooting 100 free throws (not really free for you) to raise money for my team. General Managers (aka me) have joined a New Heights team to help them raise the funds needed to provide New Heights’ signature year-round integrated youth-development program College Bound and the 2018 basketball season. 

You can show your support by making a one-time donation now or by making a pledge per made free throw (I shoot 100). Most likely, due to my poor skills, I will not make many free throws, so you should probably pledge a lot per made basket!

Working with the New Heights youth has been one of the best things about my postgrad life in New York City. Thank you for sharing the experience with me. Together we can get buckets and help improve the lives of these amazing students!

Support a college bound student-athlete today!

On Saturday, May 12, 2018, the New Heights Basketball Program will host it’s 5th Annual Team Challenge Shoot-A-Thon at St. Raymond High School.

Every student-athlete will shoot 100 free throws. We are looking for sponsors for every MADE free throw. You can PLEDGE anything from .10 cents to 10 dollars per basket made or make a one-time DONATION.

All proceeds will fund New Heights’ signature year-round integrated youth-development program College Bound and the 2018 basketball season.
