“I want to thank your organization because without it, four young men would not have the means to play AAU. Because of this grant, three players that didn't have the funds to participate got college scholarship offers. I am so grateful for this grant because it helps our community make their dream a reality. ”
“The One Team One Durham Fund significantly impacted our organization by expanding access to sports performance and health services for underprivileged athletes in the Durham community.
