Youth Sports Academy to Partner with Boys & Girls Club, Local Police and Sheriff’s Departments, and Daytona Businesses to Host End-of-Summer Party for Local Youth
Daytona, FL, August 6th, 2021- DME Academy, one of the nation’s leading youth athletics and academic preparatory schools, will partner with local charity powerhouse- Jeep Beach, the Daytona Beach Police Department (DBPD), Volusia County Sheriff’s Office and the local Boys and Girls Club of Volusia and Flagler Counties to host basketball games and contests unlike any other. On September 11th, from 10am-1pm, members of the DBPD and sheriff’s office will partner with some of DME Academy’s student-athletes to take on local youth from the Boys & Girls Club of Volusia and Flagler Counties. In addition, officers will lead a discussion with the kids on the significance of the event’s date.
“When DME Academy got started, we did it because we wanted to make an impact on student-athletes everywhere,” said Dan Panaggio, co-owner of DME Academy. “That said, our home is Daytona Beach, and we’re proud members of this community and always look for ways we can make an impact here at home. We’re looking forward to bringing everyone together for a great day of basketball and fun.”
To fuel the players in the variety of basketball games & contests, Buffalo Wild Wings will provide lunch for everyone at the event. Additionally, as part of their Driven to Give initiative, Gary Yeomans Ford of Daytona Beach will be donating up to $8,000 to the Boys & Girls Club of Volusia and Flagler Counties for anyone who test drives a Lincoln or Ford that weekend in person or virtually.
“This is going to be a special day for everyone involved,” said Laura Stegall, Athletic Director of DME Academy. “It’s been really inspiring to see how our partners in the community have stepped up, and everyone at DME Academy has responded just as enthusiastically. I couldn’t be more proud of everyone’s effort in supporting these great causes.”
