About the Binghamton Arts and Athletics Community
The City of Binghamton is my hometown and is also home to 50% of the elementary school population living in poverty. The goal of the Binghamton Arts & Athletics Community Fund (BAAC) is to provide greater access to the Arts & Athletics while bringing awareness to the community of the benefits they have in the development and overall well-being of children. Both sports and art programs offer many benefits to help prepare children for future success. (source: University of Rochester Medical Center)
