Rage Elite Basketball, founded in 2018, is a youth basketball program serving athletes across Ventura County with a mission to build not only skilled players but strong leaders on and off the court. We are requesting a grant to expand access to our program by offering scholarships for lower-income families, ensuring that athletes are not excluded due to financial barriers. This funding would help us cover essential costs, including travel to larger and more competitive tournaments, facility rentals, uniforms, and the purchase of updated equipment. By including uniforms and other expenses in the registration cost, we can significantly alleviate the financial burden on parents, allowing their children to participate fully. Our program serves a diverse community of youth athletes, many of whom benefit from the structure, discipline, and mentorship that basketball provides—keeping them engaged, active, and out of trouble. With your support, we can give more athletes the opportunity to compete at higher levels, develop lifelong skills, and positively impact their futures.
