Chicago, IL
Meet Team Illinois International!
In May 2022, we were connected with Damion Porter Sr, the driving force of Team Illinois International (TII). TII is an organization that strives to elevate the athletic profiles of at-risk and under-served student athletes in Illinois to help them qualify for D1 basketball scholarships.
Without TII, many of these athletes would not be able to pursue careers after high school due to a lack of resources, connections, and knowledge.
“Team Caleb has been a tremendous asset and blessing to Team Illinois International! Fulfilling a need that can help the kids stride in becoming dedicated athletes, but also the parents and coaches to jump start helping themselves. Team Caleb and Team Illinois International is a lifetime collaboration.”
Reaching New Heights
When we asked Damion how Team Caleb could help, he told us these kids would really benefit from a VertiMax - a piece of athletic training equipment used by top high school, college, and professional trainers to increase an athlete’s vertical jump, speed, and strength through resistance training. VertiMax training sessions with a third-party company can cost over $50/hour, making it entirely inaccessible to athletes at TII. Thanks to your donations, Damion and the coaches at TII can continue preparing these students for college-level basketball and beyond.
Team Illinois, we’re so excited to have your team on ours!
