PlayForward
PlayForward Fund
Building Safe Spaces. Inspiring Excellence. Creating Opportunity.
At Just Us Basketball, we believe the game is more than basketball—it’s about building character, confidence, and community. Our PlayForward Initiative is dedicated to creating a safe and positive learning space where Bay Area youth can thrive both on and off the court.
For Parents
We know that raising athletes is about more than wins and losses. It’s about giving your child a safe place to grow, the guidance to build discipline, and the encouragement to dream big. Our volunteer coaches and parents work together to provide:
A secure and supportive environment where every player feels valued.
Opportunities to develop basketball skills, teamwork, and leadership.
Affordable access so families of all backgrounds can participate.
Experiences that create lifelong friendships and lasting memories.
For Donors & Supporters
Your generosity powers our mission. Every contribution—big or small—directly impacts our athletes by:
Covering tournament fees and gym rentals.
Providing quality coaching and essential equipment.
Supporting scholarships, keeping participation accessible for all families.
When you give to the PlayForward Initiative, you’re not just supporting a program—you’re investing in the next generation of student-athletes and leaders.
Join Us
Together, we can create a space where kids are safe, inspired, and prepared to succeed in every part of life. By supporting Just Us Basketball, you’re helping young athletes dream bigger, reach higher, and play forward.
DONATE TODAY
A Gift of Gratitude
Every donation to the Just Us Basketball family is more than financial support—it’s an investment in our players, their growth, and our community. To honor that generosity, every donor will receive a Barkada Friendship Bracelet, handcrafted by our players and their families.
These bracelets are woven with more than thread—they carry stories, pride, and gratitude. Each one is a symbol of barkada: friendship, unity, and family. By wearing it, you carry a piece of our players’ journeys, the love of their families, and the spirit of a community that believes in basketball as a bridge for opportunity and culture.
Your gift powers practices, tournaments, and mentorship that shape character far beyond the court. And in return, you receive not just a bracelet, but a reminder that you are part of something larger—something rooted in care, teamwork, and heritage.
Thank you for giving, for believing, and for being part of the Just Us Basketball family.
Just Us Basketball is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization.
