We are holding on with hopes of not having to suspend the entire program for 2020. We have two landmarks, a start date of any day in May and the beginning of June, any thing later will be a disaster.

We are a nonprofit which mentors Youth between the ages of 11 to 16 years old. As a USA Basketball Certified Gold Coach, Bullying is one of the modules required to pass for certification on both coaching levels offered. Sandhills Machine promotes a zero tolerance for bullying along with abuse by any member or volunteer of our organization. Once a situation is brought to our attention we address the rules, then determine the consequence. In 2017, a member who had the longest tenure in the program made a decision that caused him to be removed from the program for an entire year. The young man has since returned and is displaying exceptional leadership skills.

Most businesses or People who enjoy assisting any cause usually seek you out. However, what Sandhills Machine does is go out into the community to make ourselves known. We volunteer and assist with other causes, we have events published in local newspapers and online. Sandhills Machine helps the community see what we're doing for our Youth, that garners attention and makes others interested in our mission and vision. Becoming a member of the Local Chamber of Commerce has truly been a blessing, we get to rub elbows with business owners and prominent members of the community on a continuous basis because of all the activities/events held by the Chamber. The Chamber has cataloged everything about the community you need access too.
Our initial funds were contributed by members on the Board of Directors (BOD). After receiving our Charitable Solicitation License the BOD members reached out to local businesses for sponsorship or donations.
