Support That Lasts Long After the Game Ends
Everyday Effort, Recognized
Not every victory is won on the court. For many in Detroit and across Michigan, showing up: clean, focused, and prepared is already a battle. The Cycle of Champions tournament honors that effort with real support that meets people where they are.
Through our partnership with Whirlpool, championship teams receive washers and dryers that help ease daily challenges and restore time, dignity, and confidence. It’s not just a reward, it’s a resource that creates space for growth, learning, and rest.
The Impact in Numbers
41% Reduction
in school absences when clean clothes are consistently available.
Boosted Confidence
Students report feeling more prepared and less distracted.
Time Saved
Less travel to laundromats means more time for what matters most.
Better Participation
Consistent routines increase engagement in class and on the court.
Support That Stays With You
This program is about more than immediate wins. It’s about creating momentum for youth and households who need a boost—something that lightens the load just enough to help them keep going strong.
The impact continues every morning when routines are smoother, when someone feels confident enough to raise their hand in class, or when time can finally be spent on something other than catching up. That’s what long-term change looks like.
