About the Book

More Than 25 Cents is more than a sports story. It is a story about people. Beginning with youth basketball and expanding into recreation, volunteerism, fundraising, mentorship, and community leadership, the book chronicles how one town came together to create lasting opportunities for generations.

Readers will experience the rise of youth programs, the effort to build a new community center, the powerful response after September 11, the volunteers who shaped lives behind the scenes, and the enduring values that kept the mission moving forward.
