UPSTATE PRIME Basketball League Reschedules Fundraiser to Support Local Youth Programs

Anderson, SC — In a show of community spirit, UPSTATE PRIME Basketball League has announced they are rescheduling their upcoming fundraiser to support fellow youth basketball programs in the area. The event, originally planned for June 13th, will now take place on June 20, 2026.

 

Putting Community First

 

The decision to move the date came after careful consideration of the local basketball landscape. Several AAU programs and youth basketball organizations are currently fundraising to help their athletes travel to Nationals in Florida. Rather than compete for the community's support, UPSTATE PRIME chose to step back and let those teams have their moment.

 

"We believe in supporting the entire basketball community," the league shared in their announcement. "We do not want to take away from or compete with other teams that are working hard to raise funds for their players."

Building a Stronger Basketball Community

 

This reschedule highlights what makes the Upstate basketball community special—organizations that look out for each other and put the greater good ahead of their own interests. By moving their fundraiser, UPSTATE PRIME is living their mission of building a stronger basketball community where everyone can thrive.

 

The league expressed their gratitude to supporters for their understanding and continued support. Their goal remains clear: help their own athletes while also cheering on the success of other youth basketball programs in the area.

 

So on June 20th, come hungry, bring your friends and family, and show these young athletes that Anderson supports its basketball community. Every plate served and every donation given helps keep youth sports thriving in the Upstate.
