THE FAST BREAK MISSION
The Fast Break Fund is a non-profit organization that advances youth’s knowledge, experience, confidence and self-esteem through participation in sports. Our goal is to provide youth with additional resources necessary to succeed in sports, academics and the workforce in general. The Fast Break Fund provides underprivileged youth and physically and mentally disabled children scholarship assistance for camps and leagues and fundamental and advanced skill instruction.

 

"When I first heard about the Fast Break Fund I thought ‘there must be some catch’. I just could not believe that an organization would provide the funding for a young person to attend basketball camp. The day I met Larry Hynes, President of Fast Break, I knew it was for real. The Fast Break Fund provided eleven children to attend our Overnight Basketball Camp. I am thoroughly impressed with the unselfishness of the Fast Break Fund and the genuine compassion they have for children in need."
Gina Castelli Head Women’s Coach Siena College

 

"The Fast Break Fund has given players from my school the chance to experience camps they would never dream of attending otherwise. The kids I know who have been blessed with a Fast Break scholarship reacted as if they won a trip to Disney World."
Mike Lilac, Hoosick Falls Boys Varsity Coach

 

Fast Break is a recognized 501©(3) that was founded in 1995 by Tony & Larry Hynes. When they were kids, they were able to attend summer camps because of the kindness of others. They decided to return the favor and, as a result, formed Fast Break with the primary mission of sending area athletes to sports camps throughout the region. That first year, Tony Hynes funded the first four kids himself. The Fast Break Fund has expanded tremendously in its 13 years of existence reaching over $49,000 in donations this year and sending over 150 campers to the half-day, full-day and overnight area sport camps.
