Maryland Madness has an active fundraising effort and gladly accepts any donations of money and needed goods/services from individuals and businesses to support its activities and defray large costs such as gym rentals for practices, uniforms, equipment, travel expenses and league/tournament fees. Most importantly, Maryland Madness provides a Chico Pearson Memorial Scholarship to all players who have bona fide financial need and cannot afford the basic costs of participation on a Maryland Madness team. This scholarship program benefits many from disadvantaged economic backgrounds throughout our community and permits local youth to have the full opportunity to play basketball without regard to finances.
All donations go directly to the organization's teams and do not benefit any individual board member, officer, coach or parent. Donations can be designated for a specific Maryland Madness team or may be given to the organization as a whole. If your organization would like sponsorship elements to be attached to a donation of money or goods/services, Maryland Madness would welcome the opportunity to work with you to fashion a mutually beneficial sponsorship package. We have numerous sponsorship elements including tournament sponsorship and apparel sponsorship that can be specifically crafted to raise your organization's profile throughout the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
