Fall / Winter 2024 SONNY New York
To celebrate the first international ALD / New Balance SONNY tournament, we tapped into members of our SONNY Youth Club, Amir Lawrence, Bryan DeLeon, and Jaden Rodriguez — More than family to ALD, these three young men are ambassadors of the Masaryk Community Gym and play pivotal roles within our SONNY Youth Club after-school program. This trip to Paris offered them an experience in a new city while allowing them to bring the pulse and essence of the NYC Masaryk Community Gym to this international tournament. Sending love to Paris, all the players, the Gentilly community and the local winning team, for one of our best tournaments yet. Thank you! International Friendship Through Basketball.
