DIRECTOR'S COURT
The Terance Mann Complete Player Foundation has made a remarkable impact in a brief span. Within six months, we've raised significant funds to back our endeavors. I'm deeply proud of Terance's active involvement in our camps, events, and fundraisers this past summer.
Leading this foundation with a committed team passionate about supporting Terance and his mission is truly an honor. We're meticulously planning festive events, like a turkey and toy drive, to spread joy to those in need.
Follow our social media for the latest on our next events and fundraising initiatives, as we strive to amplify our impact in 2024!

INSPIRING YOUNG MINDS (IYM)
One of TMCPF’s initiatives is partnering with Inspiring Young Minds. IYM aims to provide students with internship opportunities, scholarships for increased affordability, and improved SSAT performance to enhance acceptance rates into prep schools.
In a span of 19 years, IYM has placed over 700 students into boarding schools with over $100 Million in financial aid. Terance and his brother, Martin Mann attribute their success to their journey through the prep school system. It is because of this unique educational experience that the Mann family is so passionate about helping students bridge the gap and provide them with the same opportunity to change their lives.
To date, our Foundation has donated $150,000 to IYM to help them continue their mission to provide a boarding school experience to all.

TERANCE MANN COMPLETE PLAYER CAMPS AND CLINICS
Another cornerstone of TMCPF is The Terance Mann Complete Player Camps (TMCPC), inaugurated with a Free Clinic in Downey, Los Angeles. This LA Clinic not only delivered rigorous training by Bentforce Basketball but also signified our foundation's grand launch. We were delighted to accommodate over 150 campers and 50 special guests, offering them an initial glimpse into our foundation's missions.
Building on that momentum, we rolled out two triumphant camps: the Back to Back to School Camp Camp in Pittsburgh and the TMCPC Camp in Massachusetts. Catering to over 400 campers, these sessions featured top-notch coaching from Bentforce Basketball and Synergy Basketball, focusing intently on fundamental techniques and skill enhancement over four days.
Adding a unique touch, our camps and clinics will feature an academic fair, similar to the Mini-Academic Fair at our Massachusetts camp where we extended invites to over 30 prep schools. This innovative step underscores our dedication to harmonizing athletic prowess with scholastic brilliance. We would like to thank our many sponsors and donors for making this opportunity possible for so many students athletes.

EVENTS AND FUNDRAISERS
In June, we rolled our Soft Launch in New York City, announcing the formation of the Terance Mann Complete Player Foundation to 50 of our friends and family. In addition, we held a Boston Fundraiser Event courtesy of our sponsors.
We enjoyed delicious food, refreshing drinks, and delightful company, which included members of our Advisory Board and many others who played a significant role in Terance’s journey to the NBA. A sincere thanks to all attendees, bidders, and contributors; together, we raised over $60,000. It's with your backing that we can drive transformation and offer pivotal opportunities to underprivileged children and communities, altering lives for the better.

In August, Daynia La-Force, Executive Director of TMCPF, was invited by Sinclair Health for a dialogue on Mental Health and Opioids. She emphasized recognizing early indicators of deteriorating mental health that can lead to drug addiction. Moreover, she highlighted potential solutions, including those offered by the foundation, which can serve as alternative paths to transform lives.
