Support a Dedicated Young Athlete’s USA Basketball Journey

$4,972 of $10,000 goal
Given by 34 generous donors in 5 weeks

Helping a 17 year old athlete travel to the USA this December to pursue basketball and scholarship opportunities.

East Tamaki, Auckland

My son Enzo is 17 years old and basketball is not just a sport to him - it is his dream.

He has been playing since he was 10 years old. Basketball has been his passion, and he has dedicated countless hours to training, improving, and pushing himself to be better every single day. While many teenagers spend weekends relaxing, he spends every free moment training. Even after a loss, he focuses on how he can improve.

He was officially selected to play on the Hoop 33 USA Tour Team in December, where he will train and compete at a higher level. This experience will allow him to grow as an athlete, gain exposure, and potentially open pathways toward scholarship opportunities.

We are incredibly proud of his discipline and determination. As a family, we are doing everything we can to support him, but the overall costs are significant. That is why we are fundraising to help make this opportunity possible.

The funds raised will help cover the official Hoop 33 USA Tour package, which includes return flights from Auckland, transport (including rental vehicles), travel insurance, accommodation, daily meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner and recovery snacks), tournament entry fees, team uniform (singlet and shorts), training camps leading up to departure, sightseeing activities, and recovery facilities such as pools and related services.

Any contribution, big or small, brings him closer to his dream.

Thank you for believing in him

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
