ORANGEVALE, CA, (MPG) – Clutch City Academy is excited to announce the 1^st annual Hoop to Feed the Hungry youth basketball camps taking place November 23^rd & 24^th at Casa Roble High School. Athletes grades 4^th-12^th from the Sacramento region are welcome to attend for free. Clutch City asks that each athlete bring one bag of non-perishable food to be donated to the Orangevale Food Bank, Twin Lakes Food Bank, and Sacramento Food Bank. Space is limited to 50 athletes for each day of camp and we expect spots to fill up very quickly. Pre-registration is required at www.clutchcityacademy.com.

Clutch City Academy plans on making this annual tradition in the Orangevale community with the intention of teaching the next generation of athletes the virtues of thankfulness and gratitude and providing food and financial resources to local food banks to ensure needs are met in time for the Thanksgiving Holiday.

With this past year being tough on local kids with distance learning and youth sports leagues canceled, Clutch City believes this is an incredible opportunity during their Thanksgiving break to get outside and exercise and learn about having an “Attitude of Gratitude” through every season and finding thankfulness for the blessings in their lives.

Clutch City expects these camps to make a huge impact on the local youth and community and is asking local businesses and organizations to sponsor the local youth attending the camp to cover camps expenses and the remaining proceeds will be donated to the Orangevale Food Bank, Twin Lakes Food Bank, and Sacramento Food Bank. To get involved and make a difference in the next generation of athletes, please email [email protected] for more information on sponsorship opportunities.

Clutch City Academy was co-founded by NBA champion and former Sacramento Kings player, Pete Chilcutt. The goal and purpose of the academy is to promote the mental and physical development of youth in the Greater Sacramento region through the game of basketball, with a mission of empowering the next generation of athletes to develop high character and moral standards, a sense of competitiveness and fair play, an attitude of service towards others, and a deep drive to reach their God-given potential. Clutch City welcomes underprivileged youth to our academy through scholarships, giving them a much-needed and valuable opportunity to learn the game of basketball and compete.
