We are blessed to have an amazing community supporting our dream. If you would like to be a part of our mission, please consider donating. The Donald Hicks Basketball Day Camp (DHBDC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (Tax ID 37-1959260) recognized by the IRS and the State of North Carolina.
Our Commitment
We offer scholarships to every child who cannot afford to pay the $100 fee, with over 85% of our campers receiving scholarships. We provide a full lunch, drinks, several snacks, and breakfast foods daily. Each camper also receives a DHBDC tee shirt, a certificate, a picture, school supplies (such as pencils, pens, notebooks, paper, compasses, magnetic boards, water bottles, sticky notes), and coupons to local businesses. Additionally, we offer bigger prizes like refurbished computers, math games, word games (Scrabble or Boggle), and computer games.

Why We Need Your Support
Your Donations Make Our Camp Possible
We need food, school supplies, computers, and financial assistance to make our camp a reality. Any contribution is greatly appreciated. We also welcome business-attracting gift certificates or advertising materials to include in bags for each family, encouraging patronage of your business.
Additionally, we appreciate sports-themed reading and math materials to assist in curriculum development. Your support is invaluable, and we encourage you or your representatives to visit during camp week to see how your contributions are utilized.
