The 2026 Let It Fly Classic Tournament & Scholarship

On behalf of Let It Fly Classic, we’re proud to announce our 2026 Let It Fly Classic Basketball Tournament & Scholarship Fundraiser, supporting youth in both Chelsea, Massachusetts, and Baton Rouge, Louisiana.


What began as a neighborhood basketball tournament in Chelsea has grown into a global movement that uses basketball, culture, and community to create opportunities for young people worldwide.


This summer, Let It Fly will host tournaments in Baton Rouge on August 1 and Chelsea on August 8, bringing together elite competition, music, community programming, and scholarship opportunities. As Let It Fly continues to expand internationally with events in London, South Africa, Rwanda, and Puerto Rico, our commitment remains the same: investing in the next generation both at home and abroad.

Through Let It Fly, we award scholarships to deserving high school seniors—not just outstanding athletes, but students who demonstrate leadership, character, and a commitment to serving their communities. Every donation directly supports scholarships and youth programming in Chelsea, Baton Rouge, and our growing global network.


Your support helps provide:

  • Scholarships for deserving students
  • Free community basketball tournaments and youth programming
  • School visits, mentorship, and leadership development
  • Live entertainment, DJs, and cultural activations
  • Community giveaways, local vendors, and family-friendly experiences
  • Partnerships with organizations creating lasting impact on and off the court


Let It Fly is more than a basketball tournament, it’s a movement that brings communities together, creates opportunities, and inspires the next generation to dream bigger.


🏀🎓 Donate today and help us continue building brighter futures in Chelsea, Baton Rouge, and beyond.
