This summer, Eluminute Inc. launched its second official season of Eluminute Hoops, a free basketball and empowerment program for girls in the Bronx—designed to build confidence, skill, sisterhood, and community through sport.
Every Friday throughout Summer 2025, girls from across the Bronx gathered for free training sessions focused on basketball fundamentals, fitness, and team-building. With dedicated coaches, guest trainers, and community support, these sessions provided a safe, uplifting space for participants to grow both on and off the court.
In total, we proudly served over 20 girls during the summer season.
Gunhill Classic Tournament
Our team also took part in the iconic Gunhill Basketball Classic, one of NYC’s most respected youth tournaments. Competing with heart, discipline, and grit, the Eluminute Hoops team made it to the playoffs, proving that investment in young women athletes yields powerful results.
Impact
This program wasn’t just about basketball—it was about access. It was about creating free, consistent opportunities for young women to train, bond, and shine in spaces where they are often underrepresented. Through sport, we were able to:
Promote physical wellness and confidence
Build community and mentorship networks
Provide exposure to structured competition and teamwork
What’s Next?
Eluminute Hoops is just getting started. We’re already planning our fall and winter programming, with mentorship, tutoring, entrepreneurship courses, financial literacy workshops, and weekend workouts on the horizon. We're excited to announce we have been selected as one of the recipients of the Heisman Trophy Trust Fund. We’re also seeking additional donations and sponsors to help expand our reach and impact.
