Sponsor Letter

Dear Perspective Sponsor,

 4Kids WorldWide invites you to join us as a sponsor for Pomona youth in our 4KidsWorldWide Basketball Academy. The program provides academic counseling, athletic training, and mentorship to youth in low-income areas with the goal of increasing the number of high school graduates and college enrollees, while decreasing negative behaviors and inspiring youth to become productive citizens.

Our goal is to make our services accessible to all willing youth throughout Pomona. The program inspires and captures the students’ attention through sports. Sports are proven to deter youth from negative behaviors and destructive actions in the community. Academic guidelines and athletics together reinforce excellence and positive change within our young people.

4Kids WorldWide needs your assistance for our basketball academy. Our numbers have increased from 15 to 65 children. We provide food on our game days to ensure our players and families can have a meal while socializing in a positive atmosphere. We provide special outings so our families can bond with each other, such as, Ontario Clipper games in Ontario, CA.  In the fall of 2023, we have added an extra day to specifically work with Special Need players.  In the spring 2024, we added a workout specifically for girls, which will increase our numbers even more. 

 We have hired college student-athletes that have graduated from Garey High School and Varsity high school student-athletes from the Pomona Unified School District. Our hope is to inspire our college and high school players to support their community.

With your support, 4Kids WorldWide will be able to assist with our gym expense, purchase more equipment, uniforms, t-shirts, continue to feed any child that attends our games, and provide jobs for college and high school athletes that want to give back to their community. In addition, we need your support to be capable of providing our player snacks before/after each workout to ensure that no child is hungry during our intense training. 

Through sports and education, we encourage hard work to achieve positive outcomes and unrecognized possibilities. With you by our side, Pomona youth have greater opportunities and a chance at a better future.

Sponsorships range from $50/player to $5000 for Corporate Sponsorship. Depending on your level of sponsorship, your name and logo will appear on fliers, media postings, T-shirts and/or uniforms, and our website, 4kidsworldwide.org . Please choose your level of giving. For any questions, please contact me, Marla Clark-Valentine at (909) 315-1032. Donations are tax deductible and the investment you make in our youth today will pay dividends in all our futures for tomorrow.

Sincerely,
