Good morning, Charlie is an avid Basketball player and enjoys watching it on tv. So this morning I would like to share the Longest Basketball Game with you. In case you have someone like Charlie in your life. As he is asking me to sit down and watch it with him. Which I plan on doing this morning. Although I may fall asleep I am at least going to try and make an effort to pay attention as it shows Charlie I am interested in the things he’s interested in.
Victims of Typhoon Haiyan! Longest Basketball Game
Will Build Homes, a basketball community for children, and livelihood programs for Victims of Typhoon Haiyan!
To: Jeff Moore, Tony Tatar, and Chuck Williams, all from St.Louis, Missouri will be traveling to Manila, The Philippines, for a World Record Basketball Event!
These three amateur basketball players have been invited to play in the Longest Basketball Game ever played. Only twenty-four players are allowed by World Record rules to compete in this event and these three, and only US players will be playing in this five-day record game, as they currently hold the record.
The dates are March 24-29 in Manila, The Philippines. The goal is 120 hours of non-stop basketball and a new world record! The event will benefit victims of Typhoon Haiyan.
Campaign Goals: Your finances will help rebuild the lives of the Haiyan survivors. You’re not just providing a home. You’re also providing a quality of life, a sense of normalcy, and inspiration to promote an attitude of bouncing back like a champion! The proceeds from Bounce Back Ph will all be donated to Gawad Kalinga’s Operation Walang Iwanan. Gawad Kalinga (which means to “give care” in Filipino) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to end poverty for 5 million Filipino families by 2024. Gawad Kalinga is dedicated to its mission with the passion of not just building homes but cultivating communities with a culture of commitment, service, selflessness, and solidarity to uplift their lives and become a source of inspiration to make a difference.
How This Campaign Is Different: Bounce Back Ph’s mission is to bring hope from hoops. We will start a Basketball Marathon Village. This village will act as the initial model community for our platform. We are going to select an area in Leyte and build 24 houses, a basketball court, a community hall, and develop livelihood programs. We’re hopeful this concept will be duplicated once the first master plan is built, successful and providing back to the community. Basketball will be our tool of engagement, your funding will be what makes the difference in the lives of the Filipino people.
