I would like to share with you a great opportunity to support some young people in Spartanburg and the surrounding area.  The South Carolina Bucks, Inc., is a nonprofit basketball club established in the spring of 1999 to provide an environment where children in our community can develop values and character from training and competition offered through the game of basketball.  Our teams are comprised of players from the city of Spartanburg and surrounding areas.  In our program, we have over 20 teams and over a 400 young men and women (between the ages of 8 and 19 years old) playing basketball in games against other traveling teams in tournaments sanctioned by the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) and the Youth Basketball Of America (YBOA).  Through a rigorous regiment of practicing and competing, these young men and women are learning a lot about themselves and others. 

They are learning leadership skills, teamwork, responsibility, respect for themselves and others.  They are also learning to be respectful toward authority figures, while growing spiritually.  Lastly, they are learning the fundamentals of basketball and having lots of fun!  Win, lose, or draw, the character and values built through hard work, dedication, and respect will pay dividends for our community for many years to come.

Again, we are a nonprofit organization.  We are asking you or your business to make an investment in these young people by joining our team.  We are in the process of raising funds to defray the cost associated with playing basketball on one of the SC Bucks Traveling Teams.  In addition to these fundraisers, we are asking family members, friends, and businesses for either a monetary or in-kind donation.  Cost associated with playing on a team includes leasing training facilities, uniform purchase, entry fees to tournaments, hotel rooms, transportation cost…etc.  Any support you can offer with be greatly appreciated.  Levels of sponsorship are:  Friend ($0 - $100), Silver ($101 - $200), Gold ($201 - $300), and                    Official ($500  - $1,000+). 

All Sponsors will be listed on the South Carolina Bucks’ website and will receive other concessions.  You can monitor our progress at www.extremeheightsbasketball.com.
