Fundraiser: Hoops for Change Free-Throw Shoot-A-Thon 2025
*From Anton Lyons, regional director of 10,000 Degrees
College Park Basketball Families,
I hope this email finds you well. As the fall season approaches and we get back on the court, I want to take a moment to talk about something bigger than the game itself: our role in the community. Our program is committed to developing well-rounded young men, and that includes giving back. That's why I'm excited to announce our participation in the Hoop for Change Free Throw Shoot-a-Thon to benefit 10,000 Degrees.
The mission of 10,000 Degrees is to achieve educational equity and to support students from low-income backgrounds to and through college to realize their full potential and positively impact their communities and the world. This event is our chance to use our skills for a powerful purpose: to fundraise for scholarships for our Contra Costa students. Every shot we make will directly support a student's dream of going to and graduating from college.
🏀 Our event will be held on November 8th, 2:00-4:00pm, at Acalanes High School.

🏀 Step 3: Shoot Some Hoops The fun part happens on Saturday, November 8th 2025 at Acalanes High School. This is where you'll make 100 free throws.

This is an awesome chance for our players to showcase their skills while making a real, positive impact on our community. I'm counting on all of you to bring your best effort, both on and off the court.
Let's make this event a huge success.Thank you for being ONE DEGREE of change!
