Dunbar Girls Basketball Mission Needs Your Support
Dunbar Girls Basketball Schedule 2009-10 (Click Here) There was a need to help young girls, mostly young black women with financial support; to send them to attend summer basketball camps. Each basketball summer camp allowed each team member to develop their talents and skills, to grow their confidence in the game, and to learn how a structured competitive camp environment would help them in their quest of becoming a team. We were allowed to mentor, coach, and show Christian love from the bleachers and from behind the scenes with donations. The Dunbar Girls have been to the state finals twice finishing second both times. #2 in the state, and #1 in our hearts. Church members regularly follow the girls to their games along with the girl’s parents and grandparents. Today, you can make an immediate difference in the life of one of these young women by making a financial donation so that we can send the team to summer basketball camps and tournaments to sharpen their basketball savvy and skills.
Several years ago, our relationship with Dunbar High School started as a way for our church to enter into the community with a mission based on love of church, love of children and love of harmony with a girls basketball team in a high school that was located in a very diverse area. Richard Dickey, our church’s former associate pastor, reached out to the Dunbar Tigers, making Coach Dwayne Donnell’s team part of our churches mission’s ministry.
