The WSA is a mentorship program masquerading as a basketball team. Our mission is to create leaders and build trust through sport and extracurricular activities. WSA also believes that giving children an opportunity to play sports promotes teamwork, friendship, reliability and trust in their young lives.
Your donations will help us get new basketballs, pay for tournament fees, provide snacks, support any of our teams families if they are in need, buy school supplies, and gift the kids experiences like going to the zoo or museums.
One of our biggest goals as well is to get a new 12 passenger van. This van is the main transportation for most of the kids to any and all WSA events. So if we can raise enough money, or if you know a dealership looking to donate to a non profit, we can hopefully get a new van one day soon!

Good luck to the Rams! Thankful for the support this organization shows our community. This was a surprise visit last October by Rampage at our practice. 💙💛
