Building the infrastructure that Pocono Mountain youth athletics has never had — so talent stays, grows, and thrives where it is.
Pocono Mountain has the athletes. It has the families. It even has newly renovated gymnasiums. What it doesn't have is structured, year-round youth basketball development — and the gap between Mountain and Valley programs is growing every season.
Crown Roots Foundation exists to close that gap by funding and supporting Crown Hub, a comprehensive youth basketball program that combines athletics with academic support, college readiness, and community investment.
Structured off-season training, competitive leagues, and skill development that Mountain families currently drive 45-60 minutes to access.
Basketball as a vehicle for academic accountability, college preparation, and life skills — not just athletics in isolation.
A national college database that exposes the true cost gap, helping Pocono families make informed decisions about higher education.
Programs built on the mountain, for the mountain — eliminating the geographic and financial barriers that currently exclude our youth.
