Hi everyone! Welcome to my third New Heights NYC Shoot-a-Thon fundraising page. New Heights NYC is an organization that aims to provide NYC student-athletes with opportunities to succeed on and off the court. Thank you to everyone for their help last year, and I am hoping you will again this year.
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 two amazing brothers, Kenny and Kris, to help them succeed in the classroom, in the basketball arena, and especially with style and swagger :). You can see both in my photo reel (I am the GM of Kris's team.. he is the one with the picture in my photo reel).
Josh Housman, a good friend, and I started a tutoring program for students at this age level, RISE. So far the program is in its second year and has helped several students make honor roll!
General Managers 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 2017 basketball season.
Please help me reach my goal! Every dollar raised will benefit college-bound student-athletes. You can show your support by making a one-time donation now or by making a pledge per made free throw. You can also attend the event on May 6th. 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!
