DONATIONS / SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Desert Storm is a registered 501‐3C charitable organization and as such relies solely on contributions to fund our program. The vast majority of our program participants come from economically challenged families. For instance, just last year one of our coaches bought one of our middle school players a pair of sneakers. He had been squeezing his size 12 feet into worn out size 10 sneakers and his guardian couldn’t afford a new pair.
The demographics of our program and the historical lack of a substantial donor base means we don’t have funds to support the basic needs of the organization. And, contrary to many other programs, we operate Desert Storm for most of the year. While similar programs pay annual stipends to coaches of up to $5,000, every Desert Storm coach and board member is a volunteer, and there is no expense reimbursement.
Given the growth in the number of children we are serving, and the goal to expand our academic support program, we are now embarking on a goal to raise $15,000 or more by December 31st. We would deeply appreciate your consideration of a contribution of any amount.
If you are able to help our organization, please feel free to donate via our paypal account donation button below, or a check could be mailed to our PO Box following address:
