Ace’s Athletes 5K Benefiting
New Heights Youth, Inc.
Ace’s Athletes was created to honor the life, spirit, and love we have for our son Ashtin. We’d like to think that when Ashtin got older he would have had the same love for sports that his Father does. Through our annual memorial 5k and with community support, we will keep Ashtin’s memory alive all while we raise funds for New Heights Youth, Inc. so that more children have the opportunity to play, grow, and belong through athletics the same way our Ashtin would have.
New Heights is a sports-based youth development organization that creates opportunities for youth to rise to their potential on the basketball court, in the classroom and in their communities. Our mission is to educate and empower promising underserved youth to be leaders, champions and student-athletes by developing the skills necessary for success in high school, college and life.
Our coaches and educators are positive role models who guide youth through adolescence and into young adulthood, and motivate them to develop the social, behavioral, academic and athletic assets necessary for maintaining physical and mental health throughout their lives.
New Heights is proud to partner with Ace’s Athletes to support student-athletes across New York City. To learn more about the work New Heights does to benefit youth on and off the court, click here to learn more.
