Build a Lasting Legacy
For 165 years, Friars Club has stood as a pillar of oppotunity for out community. We serve over 1,000 youth each year through basketball, volleyball and academic enchichment programs such as our summer camp and after-school program. These programs are not just athletic in nature, but academic in purpose. Help Friars Club share the next generation of leaders through sports and education.
Our Endowment Campaign vision is to raise $3.5 million to add to our current $1.5 millon in order to have $5 million to secure a future for every child who walks through our doors to receive "coaching that lasts a life time".
