The organization was founded in 1996 by former senator Allison Petrus and has been a successful and rewarding organization within the community. Senator Petrus saw the need to form the organization to offer the youths in the community an opportunity to showcase and enhance their basketball and interpersonal skills. The name "Zero Tolerance" says what we stand for, a drug and violence free organization and community. For the years since our inception, the organization has been primarily sponsored and funded by the Government of the Virgin Islands. Local businesses and other local organizations have also contributed to our activities over the years. As our community grows, I now see the need to expand the organization to include basketball clinics, additional tournaments, and other developmental clinics and conferences. In addition, I envision having partnership with the British Virgin Islands. I am writing this letter to offer you an opportunity to take part in our organization in your own way. You can present monetary donations or offer merchandise as you deem appropriate. As previously stated, we intend to reach more youths within the community and have year round clinics, tournaments, conferences, and other off island activities. The estimated cost necessary to operate our local yearly programs and off-island trips is approximately $100,000. Attached is a breakdown of the monies for our locally planned activities and newspaper articles. The additional monies will be used to help defray the cost of 2 invitational tournaments on the mainland in March for 17&U Boys and in July for 17&U Boys & Girls. This would be a memorable opportunity for our youngsters to showcase their talents. Your tax-deductible donation will he well received and all sponsors will be provided advertisement on our program t-shirts. Our Organization is certified as 501(e) status. Please give generously...11 takes a village to raise a child. Thank you in advance. Your contributions will greatly be appreciated.
