For the first season, I think it went really well overall. We had a competitive league with eight teams from all different kinds of backgrounds uniting in a cause bigger than themselves.
As a whole, we raised just over $1500 for the season to send to an orphanage in Zambia Africa. This season, we are partnering with a specific orphanage called Breath of Heaven that provides holistic service to kids who have lost their families.
Money goes a long way in helping kids in this area. $40 dollars can actually take someone from extereme poverty, which basically means death is hovering someone, to life opportunity. Through this small gesture as a basketball league we are able to sponsor 15 kids for a year's worth of education and resources.
I believe grassroots moments that gather together actually change the world.
I wonder what we could do to help more people?
