“The Lay-Up program is one of a kind. The way Lay-Up is able to provide inclusiveness and diversity with all the sessions is inspiring. I am very grateful to be a part of such an amazing group of people who all share the same goal.”

Lay-Up has helped me believe in myself because all of the coaches cheer me on, and support me. Lay- Up has helped me gain self-confidence and helped me not to be shy while speaking in front of people. The amazing items that Lay-Up gave me made it feel like Christmas and my birthday, I was so happy!

The Lay-Up program is not just basketball. I see how the kids are given an opportunity to express themselves while in the art, virtual and in-person sessions...I have never experienced anything like this and it fills my heart with so much gratitude.
