WHY THIS EXISTS
Haron lost a close friend to gun violence.
That loss became the reason Ballin 4 Peace exists. Not as a slogan. As a fact that sits underneath every program, every game, every scholarship we hand out on that court.
For ten years, Haron has shown up in Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx with the same idea: put young people in a room full of athletes, artists, and community leaders who came from the same neighborhoods -- and let that proximity do what lectures cannot.
Your donation keeps that room open.
"I want to give these guys the opportunity I did not have." Haron "H2O" Hargrave, Founder
WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES
Three things. Every dollar.
Scholarships
With colleges focused on the Transfer Portal, high school athletes get overlooked. We hand $2,500 scholarships out live at events -- in front of their families, in front of their communities.
