Happy Holidays from SASF
To the SASF community,
As this year comes to a close, we want to reflect upon the thousands of youth, adults, and families that came through SASF for Sports for Life, Strive for Strength, basketball programs, Pickleball and other various experiences. Many of you also showed up to support our annual Crab Feed and golf tournament fundraisers. We want to thank every individual who has supported our mission— our founding members, our donors, staff, volunteers, partners, and community members. Your compassion, generosity, and belief in our work continue to help keep our programs accessible, maintain a welcoming space for families, and allow us to offer opportunities that make a lasting impact on the lives we serve.
We appreciate the trust you place in us and the way you show up for SASF year after year. This season is a meaningful time to reflect on what we’ve accomplished together and to look ahead with optimism and excitement as we move into 2026. Our board will continue to focus on shaping the next chapter of SASF. We will continue to strengthen the programs that anchor our community, explore new partnerships, ideas, and possibilities to make an impact for the people we serve.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, we wish you and your loved ones a joyful holiday season filled with peace, warmth, and reflection, and a New Year filled with continued purpose, opportunity, and community.
With appreciation,
The SASF Board of Directors

SASF Partner Spotlight: Coach Kiel Myers and Buckets on Wheels
Coach Kiel Myers is a former NCAA basketball player who competed at Sacramento City College and the University of Hawaii at Hilo, where he was a starter, All-League performer, and consistent double-digit scorer. At Sac City, he set the school record for most three-pointers without a miss and earned a place on the All-Time Double-Figure Scorers list.
He now leads Buckets On Wheels, a mobile basketball training program serving athletes throughout Elk Grove and Sacramento. His sessions focus on fundamentals, confidence, and basketball IQ—helping players grow on and off the court.
Buckets On Wheels is proud to partner with SASF to provide a positive, inclusive space for youth development, supporting SASF’s mission of building character, leadership, and community through sports.
In January 2025, Coach Kiel was recognized as Mentor of the Month by the Sacramento Kings and Mentor California for his impact on local youth.
Off the court, he is a dedicated father to his daughter, Eva. Through this partnership at SASF, Coach Kiel aims to inspire the next generation of student-athletes to excel in sports, academics, and life.
