Support the Greenwich House Girls Basketball League

The Greenwich Village Girls Basketball League has offered young girls an opportunity to build confidence, learn teamwork and develop resilience on and off the court since 1995 (one year BEFORE the WNBA was founded!), thanks to the vision of local parent Harry Malakoff. When Harry couldn’t find a local basketball league for his 10-year-old daughter, he looked to Greenwich House to help provide space, support, and a home for what has grown into a thriving community of players, coaches, and families.

For 30 years, Greenwich House has hosted the league, ensuring the league persists, through economic downturns, neighborhood population shifts, and ever-changing youth interests. We are proud to continue supporting this league as part of GH’s founding mission of creating access and opportunity to community programs that foster wellness, creativity, and connection.

While continuing the work is a forever goal, keeping registration costs as low as possible amid increasing fixed costs (insurance, court access, etc) is a forever challenge. And so, we ask and appreciate friends of the program to consider making a donation to support the league and stand with Greenwich House as we continue our commitment to create spaces that are inclusive, encouraging, and fun for all!!

A donation of any amount is welcome (and tax deductible), and you can become a league sponsor with a gift of $1,000 or more, which is accompanied by the following benefits:

• Listing on select materials, including the weekly game recap emails, and Greenwich House website
• 2 General Admission to Taste of Greenwich Village on Monday, May 11
