Sponsorship Opportunities

Our sponsors help support and fund youth programming through the 44 Hoops Education Fund. Current initiatives include Books and Buckets, The Student-Athlete and Scholarship 44.

Books and Buckets

This program focuses on developing student-athletes by providing educational services and basketball training at The Rec 44 facility.

We’ve partnered with Algorithmics, an international programming school for children, to bring this vision to life. Together, we have designed a program that incorporates digital literacy skills and basketball to prepare student-athletes for success in the modern world of school, work, and everyday life.

The Student-Athlete

The 44 Student-Athlete program is a structured initiative that provides support and resources to student-athletes, with the aim of helping them excel academically. The program will be powered by Training Ground which will give athletes the tools and skills they need to maximize their opportunities at every step of their journey, preparing them for future success in a tech-enabled world.

Training Ground will implement programs surrounding tutoring, time management training, mental health services and much more. The goal of a student-athlete program is to help student-athletes balance their academic and athletic commitments and to prepare them for success both on and off the court.

Scholarship 44
