25 FOR 25 SPONSOR A STEALER (SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM)

One of the staples of our organization is never turning away a child or her family because of financial concerns.  COVID-19 has put a few of our families in tough spots which in turn has increased the requests for scholarships.  There is no set goal for our program as donations and requests for scholarships are both rolling processes.  If you would like to donate any amount please use the link below.  You or your business will receive a thank you donation letter from our program which you can use for tax purposes.  Make any checks out to: WS Stealers Girls Basketball / PO Box 5213 / Winston-Salem, NC 27113-5213.  You can also contact Coach Robinson directly at coachrobinson292@gmail.com to donate.  See below to learn about our 25 for 25 program.

WALL OF HANDS … THAT HELPED BUILD THE STEALERS

The interior left side of Teach The Game Facility #1 will be painted old gold. The wall closest to what is considered the exit door will be known as the “Wall of Hands”.  The “Wall of Hands” will be a fundraiser for the Stealers.  For $5.00 you can leave a lifetime memory which is your handprint.  Alums, coaches, current players, and volunteers of our program are eligible to be a part of the “Wall of Hands”.

The fundraiser will be used for upgrades to the facility.
