Saint Mary's Academy Girls Varsity Basketball Fundraiser

Saint Mary's Academy Girls Varsity Basketball Fundraiser

As we approach this upcoming season and college viewing events, our thoughts turn to our scholar-athletes where many of them are on financial and academic scholarship and continue to need assistance throughout the season as their sports needs grow. Here at St. Mary’s Academy, we are honored to continue traditions that bring our community together to help our inner-city youth with a focus on young women who desire to attend college. We're seeking assistance for a growing program that has been successful with our youth since its inception. We are consistently preparing our girls to attend quality Colleges, preparing them to meet their goal of attending universities of their choice and obtaining a scholarship. We believe that basketball can be used to develop important values and character qualities such as self-esteem, sportsmanship, loyalty, self-sacrifice, role acceptance, goal setting, team unity, responsibility and unselfishness, which are life skills that will definitely help them throughout their journey as young adults. Many of our young girls are simply unable to attend or achieve their dreams without financial assistance. Their success wouldn't be possible without the support of donors like you. As a staple in the community, we know that you would understand the extreme importance of our organization that serves the needs of our young women athletes with the education and character development that prepares our girls for college, career paths and leadership throughout their lives. We are on a journey to bring the future goal of these young women attending a four-year university into the here and now. If our message resonates, touches you on any level, please help us now. Just suppose that you could stretch and make a donation today of any size. We hope that you will be able to join us in funding the needs of our incredible young women. **Donations will be directed toward local and national travel, transportation, hotel accommodations, sports gear, athletic shoes and equipment, nutrition and health, team meals, access to college tours, academic assistance, practice facility and personnel training, as well as mental, physical and athletic wellness resources.
