Sportsmanship Awards – Fall 2022

This Fall we were at Tri-County Sports Complex for youth basketball tournaments sponsored by Finger Lakes Fury.

We believe that character and integrity are the keys to a better world for all. Kids with these traits act as leaders on their teams and better everyone around them. We were impressed by the level of basketball and high character of all of the players on the court. It was difficult to pick only 4 players per week. We spoke with the coaches and referees after the games and decided to recognize these 8 rising stars for their sportsmanship. Congratulations and thanks for setting a great example for others!

1st Summer Sneaker Drive – Final Update

As Summer officially comes to an end, so does our 1st Annual Summer Sneaker Drive. We started out collecting mostly Basketball Sneakers in the early part of the Summer. As we got closer to school starting, we saw the need for any kind of shoes. We asked and our wonderful donors responded. These donations are making a big difference to families in our community. Thank you again donors and partners for making all of this possible!

Stay tuned, as we have exciting things planned for the Fall and Winter!
