NECELINA MCDONALD MEMORIAL FOUNDATION PROFILE
The Necelina McDonald Memorial Foundation was created to fill one of the many voids in our community through sports. It is our intention to create a successful youth development program using the sport of basketball; that would then become a platform to address some of the pressing needs of our community.
Our mission is to guide youth between the ages of 7 and 21, both boys and girls, in the way of life by providing spiritual, educational, cultural, and financial support through our program.
Since its inception in 1997, our tournament has grown from an initial four teams (2 each from Brooklyn and Albany) to fifty-one national and international teams from locales including Canada, Florida, Boston, New Jersey, Connecticut, Long Island and from throughout the five boroughs. Our tournament is the only area tournament where youth can compete against youth from as far away as Florida and Canada.
We are proud to say that in the eight years of this event, we have created a positive experience for the youth and community, free of violence. In addition to the local economic benefits, we have also been able to provide valuable information on voter registration, health screenings, educational opportunities and life skills.
During our 2006 Spring Classic, the Necelina McDonald Memorial Foundation began a new chapter in our endeavors to assist worthy student-athletes. The foundation presented a scholarship to one resilient young man who maintained athletic and academic excellence in the face of off-the-court hardships.
In fact, many participants of our spring and summer tournaments have gone on to play and excel at colleges and universities across the country.
Our alumni list includes the following:
Sebastian Telfair (Boston Celtics), Royal Ivey (Atlanta Hawks), Charlie Villanueva (Milwaukee Bucks), Quincy Douby (Sacramento Kings),Chris Taft (NBA), JT Thomas(NBA), Lionel Chalmers (NBA), Lloyd Clinton (ABA), Jerel Blassingame (Overseas), Tommie Eddie (Overseas), Vernon Goodridge(Miss. State), Devon Neckles (St. Francis, NY), Gary Ervin (U. of Arkansas), Tyquan Goode (Fairfield), Sean Watson (Morgan State), Ramel Bradley (Kentucky), Ronald Yates (St. Peters), Sharif Skinner (LIU), Cliffone Ault (Howard), Ryan Williams (St. Johns), Anthony Williams (Morgan State), Mike Clarke (Central Connecticut), Tony Lee (Robert Morris), John Quintana (St. Francis), Aaron Johnson (Penn State), Terrance Watkins (St. Peters), Gary Forbes (U. of Virginia), Kareem Lloyd (Boise St.), Gabe Mombrun (Tiffin University), Leo Barrett (Allen University), Nimai Garrett (Allen University), Trevor Breland(Ventura CC), Akio Charles (Globe), Aaron Lesane (Riverside JC), Amadou Fall (Falls CC), Jamal Raphael (Sullivan CC), Peter Jean-Baptiste (Sullivan CC), and Taj Moore(Mohawk Valley CC).
