MAKE A DIFFERENCE TODAY

Donations directly support our ability to provide best-in-class programs.

As a non-profit section 501(c)(3) charitable organization, Buddy Up for Life depends entirely on the generosity and support of individual donors and our corporate partners to support our programs.

Donations fund our expansions, keep our Athletes and Students on the court and in the classroom, and allow us to provide professional instruction, team shirts, and necessary equipment to everyone that participates in our programs.

While Athletes and Students are assigned a small participation fee to offset our operating expenses, donations and corporate sponsorships help ensure that everyone can participate in our programs, regardless of financial status.

100% of charitable donations support Buddy up for life and are entirely tax deductible
