On behalf of Let It Fly Classic and Chelsea Black Community (CBC), we’re excited to host our Ninth Annual Basketball Scholarship Tournament. Over the past nine years, Let It Fly has evolved from a local initiative started by two kids into a global movement, creating opportunities for underprivileged communities worldwide.

 

At each Let It Fly event, we create an uplifting environment with complimentary breakfast, lunch, entertainment, raffles, giveaways, and gifts. Our yearly goal is also to provide scholarships for local students, ensuring a brighter future for kids from underserved communities.

 

To continue this mission, we need your support. Please consider making a donation to help us create scholarships for local students and provide an unforgettable experience at our Ninth Annual Let It Fly Classic Basketball Tournament. Your generosity will make a lasting impact on the lives of these young athletes and their communities. Thank you for your support!
