Benefits of Becoming a Donor
The Squire Richmond Boys Basketball
program is a nonprofit organization as recognized
by the Internal Revenue Service. As such, we rely
heavily on financial and product donations to help
us. As a nonprofit, your company's donation can contribute
a Tax Deductible donation.
In return, your partnership with the Squires will
give you exposure to a great number of potential
customers. The Squires travel all over the East Coast,
including New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland,
DC, a, North Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, Las Vegas,
etc. In addition to getting great exposure, your
company will give kids something they can have for
the rest of their lives. It goes beyond basketball.
It goes beyond winning and losing. It goes beyond
glory. What this is all about is giving kids the
chance of a lifetime.
For Youth
For
some kids it may be the first time they get to travel
outside of their state. Others, it might be the opportunity
to get noticed by a college and get a scholarship
offer. For others, it may be as simple as having
the means to do something they love--play basketball.
The bottom line is that this is something a kid can
look back on as one of the greatest experiences of
his life.
Making
the Difference in a young persons life
This program was founded because we
love kids and because we want to make a difference
in their lives. The difference is what we have a proven
track record in. Since
the program's inception, over 180 young men have received
college scholarships. Last year alone, we assisted
36 player in getting full scholarships. The program
has been fortunate to have had former players who now
have worldwide recognition. With
so many negative things going on in the world, we're
just trying to give them something positive that they
can keep forever. We all remember the great times we
had as a kid. With your help, we can make some last
a lifetime! (Thank you in advance for your help.)
