Moore shared that the organization recently took 22 children to Miami, where they won a national championship for middle school basketball. He expressed gratitude for the council's past support, which has been instrumental in their success over the last nine years. The program has not only facilitated sports competitions but also provided cultural experiences and community service opportunities for the youth involved.
