Support  Team  Prime 

 Prime Basketball and  "All Kidz Matter Inc."  (non-profit) has a mission to provide the needs to under privileged Children of Washington, D.C. and surrounding areas, to recieve scholarships, participate in Sports, educational and mentoring Programs. Since our organizations relies on the generosity of individuals like you, we write to ask you to consider a donation to our cause. Today youth sports are very expensive and a lot of inner city kids are being left out because they don't have the financial extras to participate.  Our organization can only achieve its goals with the assistance of generous donations from members of our community. Without these donations, serving those in our area would not be possible. 
Sports are a gateway to higher education as well as  lessons of teamwork, organization, responsibility and  brotherhood. Our staff serves as mentors to assure the development of each kid on and off the basketball court. Each kid has a responsibility to deliver in the classroom to participate in our organization. 
With your donation, it will allow us to create educational and  mentoring programs as well as create scholarships to pay for the less privileged kids tuition to participate in sports. We hope that you will help support our efforts. 

Annually we support boys and girls teams that consist of  over 100 kids.
The cost per kid for development, training, practice, and gear is roughly $2,000.
Expenses for team travel, tournament fees, hotel expenses are additional, and vary from team to team.
Here are some additional costs to put it all in perspective:
  • Gym rental for practice and training : $65-$90 an hour (We spent $6,800 in gym fees in the spring and summer seasons)
  • Team uniform: $150 per player ($1,500 per team)
  • Team Gear (bag, warm ups, shooting jersey, flip flops and socks): $200 per player, $2000 per team
  • The cost to send kids to private institutions is $10,000-$25,000 a year

Please help us serve our kids to the best of our ability. Every dollar counts and we truly appreciate it! Please add "Donation" in the notes. Thanks! 
Lady Prime is doing a Yankee Candle Fundraiser for our girls basketball organization. Our organization is unlike any other because we create a family based, character building culture, to help prepare our young ladies for life. It's more than basketball! Help us fund our season to help cut fees, gym time, travel and tournament cost.
