"Paying It Forward Program" gaining momentum Brick by Brick!

Almost $15,000 raised towards $20,000 annual goal

You can help for as little as $5/month.

Where do these donations go? The two programs below will be the primary beneficiaries:

  1. College Access - is a program that the PIL fundraises annually to assist students from PIL to find post high school sport opportunities. Priority is given to students of color or underprivileged youth who attend Franklin, Jefferson, McDaniel and Roosevelt.
  2. Participation fees for PIL Youth Sport Program - PILYSP provide 5000 Middle School students with access to middle school sports. The purpose of the program is to increase the quality of girls' basketball, reduce migration to private schools, develop feeder programs to PIL high schools, and to install academic standards so they are prepared for high school athletics.

Supporters have several levels of giving or “virtual brick” options:

  • Platinum at $25/month or $500 one-time
  • Gold at $20/month
  • Silver at $10/month
  • Bronze at $5/month
  • Also, a one-time gift in any amount to honor or memorialize a special person in your life is available, as are Planned Giving options.

Please see giving options, the updated wall and donors at our Paying it Forward Wall

THE NEXT 20 PEOPLE TO DONATE TO THE PROGRAM WILL RECEIVE A PIL HOF GOLF HAT or WORKOUT SHIRT WHILE SUPPLIES LAST. SO PLEASE HELP WITH A ONE-TIME OR MONTHLY DONATION FOR AS LITTLE AS $5/month!
