TEAM CHALLENGE 2026 ★ JUNE 6TH ★

Join us on Saturday, June 6th in Brooklyn on the New Heights basketball courts for the 13th Annual Team Challenge Shoot-A-Thon!

Back Every Basket

Pledge per made free throw or make a one-time gift to support College Bound student-athletes!

At the 13th Annual Team Challenge Shoot-a-thon, every New Heights student-athlete, coach, and General Manager will shoot 100 free throws. Supporters can pledge an amount for every made basket — from $0.25 to $25 per shot — or make a one-time donation.

Team Challenge is a community-powered fundraiser in support of College Bound student-athletes and the opportunities they deserve on the court, in the classroom, and beyond.

College Bound is New Heights’ signature program, where student-athletes on our middle school and high school teams benefit from competitive basketball, top coaches and trainers, academic support, leadership and life skills, and college preparation.

Every made shot helps support the resources, guidance, and opportunities that help New Heights student-athletes succeed through high school, college, and beyond.

College Bound delivers:

  • 100% high school graduation

  • 98% college matriculation

  • 78% college graduation

Whether you make a pledge, give once, or support a team, every gift helps turn free throws into opportunity.

In addition to making a pledge or donation, we invite you to join us from 8am - 2pm on Saturday, June 6th to cheer on our teams in person. The day will be filled with excitement, healthy competition and family fun! Lunch will be served at 12 noon.

Support a student-athlete. Back a team. Back every basket.
