HARLEM LACROSSE INSPIRES CHILDREN TO DREAM ABOUT TOMORROW WHILE WORKING HARD ON THE FIELD AND IN THE CLASSROOM TODAY. 0 0 5654657 295581 THE CLASS OF 2024 SAW A COHORT OF 61 STUDENTS GRADUATE AS HARLEM LACROSSE STUDENT-ATHLETES. THESE STUDENTS BENEFITED FROM UP TO SEVEN YEARS OF ATHLETIC, ACADEMIC, AND SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL ENRICHMENT SUPPORTED BY A TRUSTING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE STUDENT, THEIR FAMILY, AND HARLEM LACROSSE. OUTCOMES FOR THIS COHORT ARE COMPELLING, WITH 100% PURSUING POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION AND EARNING A COLLECTIVE $1.6MM ANNUALLY TO AID IN THEIR PERSISTENCE. THESE GRADUATES JOIN A GROWING AND IMPRESSIVE HARLEM LACROSSE ALUMNI NETWORK THAT IS STARTING TO FIVE BACK TO THE FUTURE GENERATIONS OF HL STUDENTS. ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS:HARLEM LACROSSE PARTICIPANTS ARE STUDENT-ATHLETES, PURSUING SUCCESS ON AND OFF THE FIELD. THIS SCHOOL YEAR, PARTICIPANTS CONTINUED TO DEMONSTRATE ACADEMIC SUCCESS AND GROWTH. IN A POST-COVID WORLD, SCHOOLS ARE FINDING CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM RATES TO BE A SIGNIFICANT BARRIER TO LEARNING WITH A 28% CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM RATE NATIONALLY. HARLEM LACROSSE IS SUPPORTING STUDENT-ATHLETES IN ADDRESSING CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM. PARTICIPANTS WHO WERE CHRONICALLY ABSENT THE YEAR PRIOR ATTENDED AN AVERAGE OF SIX MORE DAYS OF SCHOOL IN 2024. STUDENT-ATHLETES' FAMILIES SHARED THAT BEING PART OF HL IMPROVED ACADEMIC MOTIVATION (90%) AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE (85%) IN THE CLASSROOM. HL PARTICIPANTS AVERAGED AN 80.8% GPA AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, STUDENTS WHO AVERAGED BELOW A 70% GPA LAST SCHOOL YEAR, SHOWED AN IMPROVEMENT OF 15% IN THEIR GPA THIS SCHOOL YEAR. STUDENTS WHO STRUGGLED THE PRIOR ACADEMIC YEAR ACHIEVED THE LARGEST INCREASES IN THEIR GPA THIS YEAR. ATHLETIC ACHIEVEMENTS:LACROSSE IS AT THE CORE OF EVERYTHING WE DO. OUR COMMITMENT TO BUILDING LACROSSE COMPETENCY HAS ENABLED US TO FIELD COMPETITIVE BOYS AND GIRL'S NATIONAL TEAMS THAT PROUDLY FEATURE ELITE PLAYERS FROM ALL FIVE HARLEM LACROSSE REGIONS---A TESTAMENT TO THE ATHLETIC GROWTH PLAYERS EXPERIENCE WITHIN OUR PROGRAM. ACROSS THE BOARD THIS YEAR, STUDENT-ATHLETES SAW TANGIBLE GROWTH IN THEIR PHYSICAL FITNESS. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE BOSTON CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, WE MEASURED THE IMPACT OF OUR ATHLETIC PROGRAMMING. THE PACER TEST IS A MAXIMAL EXERCISE TEST ADMINISTERED AS A BACK-AND-FORTH SHUTTLE RUN. WITH PROGRESSIVE INCREASES IN PACE, CHILDREN COMPLETE AS MANY LAPS AS POSSIBLE. LAP SCORES ARE INTERPRETED USING HEALTHY FITNESS ZONE MINIMUM STANDARDS. A SCORE 100% INDICATES A CHILD IS IN THE HEALTHY FITNESS ZONE. YOUTH IN THE HFZ ARE LESS LIKELY TO DEVELOP METABOLIC SYNDROME, DECREASING THEIR RISK FOR CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE AND DIABETES. THE NUMBERS TELL A COMPELLING STORY: OUR PARTICIPANTS' HFZ SCORES INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY BY AN AVERAGE OF 29.8 PERCENTAGE POINTS OVER THE 2023-24 SCHOOL YEAR. THE MOST SIZABLE IMPROVEMENTS CAME FROM THOSE STARTING WITH LOWER FITNESS LEVELS (HFZ<100), DEMONSTRATING OUR PROGRAM'S PROFOUND IMPACT ON VULNERABLE CHILDREN WITH REMARKABLE STATISTICAL CONFIDENCE.SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL GROWTH:A FOUNDATION OF THE HARLEM LACROSSE MODEL IS A FOCUS ON SUPPORTING YOUTH TO DEVELOP CRITICAL SOCIAL EMOTIONAL SKILLS AND MINDSETS THAT HELP THEM TO ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS. THIS YEAR, 94% OF HL STUDENTS GREW IN AT LEAST ONE OF OUR FIVE CORE AREAS OF SOCIAL EMOTIONAL GROWTH. 94% OF FAMILIES REPORTED THAT THEIR CHILDREN IMPROVED RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEIR PEERS AND 87% OF FAMILIES REPORTED THAT THEIR CHILD HAD IMPROVED RELATIONSHIPS WITH ADULTS AS A RESULT OF HARLEM LACROSSE.FURTHERMORE, 94% OF FAMILIES AND 92% OF SCHOOL PARTNERS REPORTED THAT THEIR CHILD DEVELOPED A GROWTH MINDSET AS A RESULT OF HARLEM LACROSSE. HARLEM LACROSSE PLAYS A CRITICAL ROLE IN FORGING MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS IN THE LIVES OF PARTICIPANTS AND BUILDING SOFT SKILLS IN THE CLASSROOM, ON THE FIELD, AND IN THE COMMUNITY. 5654657 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 108 0 1 72 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 17 17 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 MA CA MD NY PA AL AK AR CO CT DC FL GA HI IL KS KY LA ME MI MN MS MO NV NH NJ NM NC ND OH OK OR RI SC TN TX UT VA WA WV WI X THE ORGANIZATION 6175957500 8 WEST 126TH STREET NEW YORK NY 10027 CHUCK LEITNER DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 SID STEINBERG DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID O'CONNOR DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 STEVE LOCKSHIN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 PETER RUGGIERO DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 EVAN VOSBURGH DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 DOM STARSIA DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 DEMAURICE SMITH DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 CARLOS BEASON DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 RONDA CLARK-RICHARDSON DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTINE SAILER DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 IAN LORING DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 ROMINA BONGIOVANNI DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 MELINDA WRIGHT DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 MAUREEN DIBBLE SECRETARY 10.00 X X 0 0 0 PAUL DICARLO TREASURER 10.00 X X 0 0 0 CHRISTOPHER BALDWIN PRESIDENT (SINCE FEB '24) 10.00 X X 0 0 0 SIMON CATALDO PRESIDENT (UNTIL FEB '24) 10.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHAEL LEVIN CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER 75.00 X 200610 0 1351 KEISHA CALDERON CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER 40.00 X 148315 0 11083 SAVANNAH OVERTON-WILIAMS SR DIR OF EQUITY & TALENT 40.00 X 121318 0 5395 JENNIFER MOE CHIEF PROGRAM OFFICER 40.00 X 116917 0 3549 NARINE SUKYAS SR DIR OF DEVELOPMENT 40.00 X 105939 0 5864 JOEL CENSER CHIEF PATHING OFFICER 40.00 X 107666 0 4733 800765 0 31975 7 0 1 0 0 400415 1020273 8417877 535069 9838565 23680 23680 318049 400415 318049 0 9862245 0 0 23680 295581 295581 240539 80180 80180 80179 4716791 3132035 862700 722056 66443 43448 12438 10557 196848 145036 27948 23864 397452 258899 74857 63696 104920 104920 194782 2137 161428 31217 134798 10645 88642 35511 69372 28 69344 24769 7170 8899 8700 78238 16887 43561 17790 6311 6311 102658 80 102578 PROGRAM EXPENDITURES 1265039 1263181 1254 604 COACHES 407524 382842 24682 DONATED LACROSSE EQUIPM 42005 42005 MISCELLANEOUS 13465 591 12094 780 10898 9606 1292 8368433 5654657 1718822 994954 573757 438125 1106251 1007245 842986 2431677 42927 91673 50484 17354 39441 33130 2605362 4001850 373379 340609 64554 0 437933 340609 X 1802171 2113651 365258 1547590 2167429 3661241 2605362 4001850 1493812 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 5198929 6529072 7209792 7135764 9838565 35912122 5198929 6529072 7209792 7135764 9838565 35912122 1191718 34720404 811 2213 3391 22440 23680 52535 28433 5954 120 34507 35999164 370 0.96450 0.94990 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 50484 17354 33130 33130 X 9862245 0 9862245 0 9862245 8368433 0 8368433 0 8368433 PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION IS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES ON TRADE OR BUSINESS PROFITS GENERATED BY ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THE ORGANIZATION'S EXEMPT FUNCTION.
