MVP Basketball Camp Community Outreach Program

MVP Basketball Camp was incorporated in 1994 as a non-profit corporation serving the children of Westchester County. Since its inception, MVP has given over 4000 economically disadvantaged children the opportunity to attend camp on scholarship awards extended through its Community Outreach Program. MVP is extremely proud that no deserving child has ever been turned away from camp due to an inability to pay the camp tuition. We believe that paid campers benefit also from the opportunity to interact with children from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. In this way, new bridges are built in the community.

Ronald McDonald House Charities supported the Community Outreach Program with a $12,000 grant

View our brochure to read about the highlights of last year'?s Community Outreach Program. Thanks in part to the generosity of our donors, 2011 was another outstanding year, with 301 children attending camp under awards from the program. The testimonials we receive from campers and their families make it clear that for many of these kids, the benefits from the time they've spent at MVP extend far beyond their one-week camp experience.

We also believe that the economically disadvantaged are not the only ones who should benefit from our Community Outreach Program and we have been proactive in responding to needs in the community. In the wake of the World Trade Center tragedy, we launched, in conjunction with the New York City Fire Commissioner, The MVP Firefighters Fund, a program that allows children with relatives who were firefighters lost on 9/11 to attend camp on a full scholarship. Then in 2005 we initiated Hoops for Troops, which provides children with a relative in the military the opportunity to attend MVP Basketball Camp free of charge. In 2009, Hoops for Troops formed a partnership with Wounded Warrior Project to target awards for children with a family member who was wounded while serving in the military.  We are honored to be able to assist those families who are sacrificing so much for our country.
