I have joined as a General Manager on a New Heights team to help them raise the funds needed to provide New Heights' signature sports-based program College Bound.
New Heights' core program, College Bound, integrates education, athletics and leadership development to help student-athletes develop the skills necessary for success in high school, college and life.

SUPPORTING NEW HEIGHTS:
PUSHING UP + MOVING FORWARD TO BROOKLYN!!
New Heights never stops working on behalf of our student-athletes. Even while we were physically separated from one another for much of the past year, we pushed forward with the biggest project we’ve ever undertaken -- our new home facility in Brooklyn. This September we will move into our new forever home. With three full-sized basketball courts, classrooms, a technology lounge and administrative offices, our new home will be a game changer for thousands of young people and their families.
As we prepare for this major transition, the entire New Heights family is once again coming together for one final push toward reaching this exciting goal. Our staff, parents, coaches, ELC and Board members and, most importantly, our student-athletes will join together virtually for our 8th Annual Team Challenge -- a 24 Hour Push-Up-A-Thon. On Saturday, June 12th, participants will attempt 100 push-ups in 24 hours. The kickoff countdown begins at 10am on Zoom, where everyone will be gathered remotely to cheer each other on.
The Team Challenge is a fundraising event, and while we understand that many of us are now struggling in more ways than one, we ask our extended New Heights family to come together and once again support our student-athletes.
THE TEAM CHALLENGE:
Starting June 12th at 10am, each participant will have 24 hours to complete 100 push-ups. We are asking for sponsors for every completed push-up. You can pledge anything from 10¢ to $10 per push-up. Every dollar is extra special to us right now, we need it now more than ever to keep New Heights in the game.
For Example: You pledge 10¢ per completed push-up and the player completes 50, you would donate $5 (10¢ x 50). If you pledge $1 and the player completes 100 push-ups, you would donate $100 ($1 x 100). PLEDGE or make a one-time DONATION today.
100% of funds will go toward supporting New Heights’ current Back to Play COVID-19 Adaptive Program Model and our move to Brooklyn this Fall.
