on Mar 29, 2018 in AAU, Basketball, Basketball Blog, Events, Fundraising, Kids,Youth, Tournaments

    Tournament Draw        About The Tournament   Raphael is one of the reasons our club exists today! His sudden loss has affected many communities and he has had a positive impact amongst his coaches, mentors, teammates, families and friends. His name is synonymous to the game of basketball and he had so much more to give. This tournament serves as a celebration of his life on the court and 204 Customs will be donating portions of the proceeds from this tournament to a scholarship fund under his name. We hope that you can participate and spread the word to those who may be interested. We look forward to hosting you and appreciate your support of the Alcoreza family. #icanandiwill22 #excellenceisthepassinggrade #ra22forever #204customsbasketblal #204customstournament #tributeto22   All in at the #bestinthewest2016 tournament.

2017 Fundraising Drive – Youth Travel Basketball

on Jan 31, 2017 in AAU, Basketball, Basketball Blog, Fundraising

Please join our families and friends in raising funds for a group of hard working, talented young men wishing to play high level basketball. Our program is for boys ages, 15-17 years old and we are seeking funds to help our teams cover costs for: Tournaments (both local and outside of BC) Team Gear and Equipment Gym rental fees and insurances Travel (flights, car rentals and hotel stays) What started as a volunteer coaching duty for a local elementary school, grew as a passion in teaching young players more than just basketball skills at the high school as well as club level. We are very proud on the competitive teams and culture that we’ve built in the last four years and it takes a village to make it work. We invite you to look at our blog of past games and events that we’ve participated in as well as raised money organically through bottle and chocolate fundraising drives.     Thankful for these parents and players for working together and making #bottledrive2016 a success #teamworkmakesthedreamwork A photo posted by 204customs (@204customs) on Aug 2, 2016 at 4:13pm PDT     The struggle is real …. but our #youngbloodz are back on the fundraising campaign with their chocolate drive … Good luck to the squads! #hustleandflow #fundraising #204customsbasketball #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #worldsfinestchocolates #grassrootsbasketball #basketballfundraising A photo posted by 204customs (@204customs) on Aug 27, 2016 at 6:49pm PDT Future Fundraising Events we’re planning on Family bowling Basketball Spring League Pub Night There are many ways to donate to our cause via PayPal or eTransfer to Head Coach’s email – ramil@204customs.com or by cheque to 204 Customs just share this link or download our Fundraising Letter to share with your respective friends, families or corporations looking to help out the community Thank you for checking out this post and we look forward to your support!  ...

Bottle Drive – 2016 Edition

Many thanks to the parents, players and open gym night ballers for making our first bottle drive a success. I know it ran a little later than we had hoped but there’s nothing a little spaghetti grub can’t fix. Shout outs to those kids who went around the neighbourhood and solicited for bottles. Really looking forward to more fundraising events.   Shout outs to all the parents, players and open gym patrons who came out last night and assisted in the youngbloodz first ever bottle drive! Much love and thank you for keeping grassroots basketball alive and well in our community! #summer2016 #bottledrive #basketballfundraising #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #basketballfamily A photo posted by 204customs (@204customs) on Aug 2, 2016 at 2:25pm PDT Thankful for these parents and players for working together and making #bottledrive2016 a success #teamworkmakesthedreamwork A photo posted by 204customs (@204customs) on Aug 2, 2016 at 4:13pm PDT #beforeandafter happened last night at #stingerstadium #bottledrive2016 A photo posted by 204customs (@204customs) on Aug 2, 2016 at 4:08pm PDT We recycle hard, then eat hard ….. #youngbloodz taking in some food after putting in work at this weekends bottle drive … Btw @_josephsalazar there were veggies in that spaghetti sauce 😜 #bottledrive A photo posted by 204customs (@204customs) on Aug 3, 2016 at 9:34pm...
