Level UP in the Community
When it comes to giving back, Level UP has but one simple philosophy. If you have it...give it. That's the message that each coach aims to pass on to the team. At Level UP, we contintue to strive to develop more than just basketball players. We want our boys to leave the program as better players and better people, ready to go out in the community and make it a better place.

-
Special Olympics
-
SEASPAR
-
Ronald McDonald House
-
Les Turner ALS Foundation
-
St. Baldricks
-
Lester School PTA
