In 2024, We hosted our 8th annual invitational basketball tournament, bringing together 22 schools and 28 teams, with six schools fielding both boys' and girls' teams. A total of 336 student-athletes from all four boroughs participated in the games.

Beyond the basketball competition featuring boys' JV and varsity teams and girls' varsity high school teams, we incorporated conflict resolution workshops to promote teamwork and personal development among participants. We held a college and post-secondary resource fair, providing students with opportunities to connect with institutions and explore future academic and career pathways. The event is created to bolster community, inspire students, and support their educational and personal growth. Basketball Games & College Resource Fair Assist to Achieve
