How can you help?

For Giving Tuesday, you can donate directly to this page to help reach our goal of $10,000 in college scholarships. You don't have to create your own fundraising campaign, as we are asking a few of our key partners to rally their friends, family, and networks to support our work.

With your donation we can ensure to offset college cost for SBC students and help them pursue their passion.

Why?

It’s a scholarship drive! We’ve met students through our fully funded programs that help high school students explore careers in sports and also promote college readiness. We’ve engaged college students helping them to build social capital and connect them directly to career opportunities.

We want to help them more by offsetting the cost of their college education, which is a critical piece to bringing our mission to life, using the power of sports to promote economic mobility.

Where will the money go?

Funds raised will go towards funding five (5) college scholarships for some of the 790+ high school and college students that have participated in SBC programming to date.

Why are we raising this money?

  • College is critical to economic mobility -- it is the ultimate ‘leveler’ in terms of helping someone born with less, to achieve more. It doesn’t only provide an education but also access to an institution in which students can build social capital that will help them launch a career. This highlights the connection between institutional settings and access and the accumulation of social capital. Exclusion from institutions means exclusion from opportunities to build valuable connections.
  • College is becoming more and more expensive -- College can be a game changer in helping someone get ahead in life. But rising costs of tuition have led to the accumulation of student debt, which disproportionately affects marginalized populations who are more likely to use student loans to attend college and also take on greater levels of debt.
    • Black and African American students owe an average of$25,000 more in student debt than white college graduates.
    • First-generation college students are twice as likely to report they are behind in making student loan payments.
