Manny Maldonado has three passions in life: Christ, basketball, and youth. The CHOSEN NYC Basketball League in Manny’s words “uses the game of basketball as a tool to encourage youth to make positive life choices through a personal relationship with God.” Manny has created a program that is free for the whole community because of the generosity of others; people have dedicated their time as coaches, helpers, and referees without receiving pay. Donations throughout the community provide money for jerseys, basketball, and other expensive equipment. You can help Manny with his cause by donating.
