Filling The Lane: Investing in Youth Creates a Greater Return for the Community

At Filling The Lane, we believe that investing in young people creates opportunities that extend far beyond the basketball court. Through education, personal development, athletics, and community engagement, we help students build stronger futures while creating lasting value for families and the community.

Our Current Reach:

• 60 students enrolled in our program.

• 45 families served annually.

• $259,000 in annual program expenses.

• $4,316.67 estimated annual investment per child.

  
  

The Greater Community Impact:

Based on estimates using Polk County economic indicators, one year of our program is estimated to support:

• $1,119,037.50 in annual work benefits.

• $777,000 in long-term social benefits.

• $1,896,037.50 in total estimated program value.

These figures illustrate the potential economic and social value of investing in youth development.

Through basketball, academic support, personal development workshops, and community engagement, Filling The Lane works to equip young people with the skills, discipline, and opportunities they need to succeed.

Our mission remains simple: to enrich the educational experience of young people and help them reach their full potential on the court, in the classroom, and in life.

When we invest in our youth, we invest in the future of our entire community.
