"FT4FCP 2012"
Free Throws for Full Court Peace 2012 Has Begun!
How it works: Youth basketball teams around the world commit to raise money for Full Court Peace by shooting 100 free-throws on a set date.
Before that date, the team members ask their friends and family for nominal sponsorships for each free-throw they make out of 100. After they shoot their 100 shots, the team tallies together their makes, percentages, and total money raised. Teams are awarded for their success with sports memorabilia, team pizza parties, and more.
This year, FT4FCP is bigger than it ever has been, with teams from New Zealand, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Texas stepping up to the line!
Once you make your pledge, the person you are supporting will contact you after they've shot their free-throws to tell you how many they made. All donations can be made online here.
