Support Youth Basketball: Become a 40 Foundation Partner

Youth basketball programs do more than just teach kids how to dribble, pass, and shoot. Here at The Bridge Sportsplex in Edwardsville, we use them to build character, discipline, teamwork, and leadership skills that shape each of our young athletes for life. But behind every successful program is a network of community sponsors, small businesses, and corporations that invest in the future of these players. Your sponsorship makes it possible for our youth basketball program in Edwardsville and the surrounding areas to thrive and positively impact the lives of young athletes.
Why Your Financial Support Matters
Youth sports programs rely heavily on external support to cover the costs of providing a high-quality experience for athletes. By becoming a sponsor, you’re not just supporting basketball—you’re investing in:
- Uniforms: Every athlete deserves to feel like part of a team. A partnership with the 40 Foundation ensures players have professional, high-quality uniforms that foster team spirit and pride.
- Travel Expenses: Many of our tournaments and games require travel. Your support helps cover transportation, lodging, and meals, making these experiences accessible to all players.
- Facility Upkeep: Keeping our courts in top condition is essential for safety and performance. Partnerships help maintain and improve our facilities for practices, games, and community events.
- Tournament Fees: Participation in local and regional tournaments provides valuable competition experience. Your contribution ensures our players can compete without financial barriers.
- Scholarships: Not all families can afford the costs associated with youth sports or college visits. Your partnership will help fund scholarships, giving every child a chance to participate and travel regardless of their financial situation.
