HARLEM LACROSSE INSPIRES CHILDREN TO DREAM ABOUT TOMORROW WHILE WORKING HARD ON THE FIELD AND IN THE CLASSROOM TODAY. 1 0 3473829 21482 90000 IN ITS 9TH YEAR OF OPERATION, HARLEM LACROSSE SERVES MORE THAN 1300 STUDENTS IN NEW YORK, BALTIMORE, BOSTON, LOS ANGELES AND PHILADELPHIA, HELPING THEM TO REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL THROUGH OUR YEAR-ROUND, SCHOOL-BASED, ACADEMICS-FOCUSED LACROSSE PROGRAM. HARLEM LACROSSE PLACES PROGRAM DIRECTORS AT THE SCHOOL SITES WHERE OUR PROGRAMS OPERATE, ALLOWING THEM TO MAINTAIN A CONSTANT PRESENCE IN THE LIVES OF THEIR STUDENTS AS TUTORS, MENTORS, AND COACHES. HARLEM LACROSSE PARTICIPANTS ATTEND REGULAR STUDY HALL AND ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT SESSIONS WITH THEIR PROGRAM DIRECTORS AND DEDICATED VOLUNTEERS, RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT ACADEMIC GROWTH. ACADEMIC GROWTH:BEING PART OF THE HARLEM LACROSSE TEAM HELPS STUDENTS TO ACTIVATE THE SKILLS AND MINDSETS TO REACH THEIR ACADEMIC POTENTIAL. HL STUDENTS ARE MORE LIKELY THAN TO ATTEND SCHOOL REGULARLY COMPARED WITH THEIR PEERS. THEY WERE PRESENT FOR MORE THAN A WEEK OF ADDITIONAL SCHOOL DAYS THAN THEIR CLASSMATES, ON AVERAGE, WERE HALF AS LIKELY TO BE CHRONICALLY ABSENT, AND WERE 20% LESS LIKELY TO FACE SUSPENSION. BEING IN SCHOOL REGULARLY IS A CRUCIAL FIRST STEP TO ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT: 98% OF HARLEM LACROSSE STUDENTS ACHIEVED PASSING GPAS, AND 89% OF ALUMNI GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL (COMPARED WITH 78% OF LOW-INCOME STUDENTS NATION-WIDE). ATHLETIC ACCOMPLISHMENT:HL ATHLETES MADE HUGE GAINS ON THE FIELD IN 2019. ACROSS THE COUNTRY, HARLEM LACROSSE STUDENTS ACHIEVED ABOUT FOUR TIMES AS MUCH GROWTH IN AEROBIC CAPACITY COMPARED WITH PARTICIPANTS IN PEER ORGANIZATIONS, HELPING THEM TO LEAD HEALTHIER LIVES. TWO HARLEM LACROSSE TEAMS MADE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME APPEARANCES IN SPRING 2019, WITH THE COMMODORE JOHN RODGERS GIRLS TAKING HOME THE BALTIMORE CITY CHAMPIONSHIP, AND THE FREDERICK DOUGLASS ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL BOYS TAKING HOME SECOND PLACE AT THE NEW YORK PSAL CHAMPIONSHIPS IN THEIR THIRD STATE CHAMPIONSHIP BERTH. SOCIAL EMOTIONAL GROWTH:BOTH PARTICIPANTS AND PARTNERS IDENTIFIED THE PROFOUND IMPACT OF HARLEM LACROSSE ON SOCIAL EMOTIONAL SKILLS. STUDENTS CONSISTENTLY REPORTED THAT HARLEM LACROSSE HELPED THEM TO GROW IN THE ABILITY TO MEET THEIR GOALS (77% SAID THEY GREW A LOT), ABILITY TO WORK WITH OTHERS (68% SAID THEY GREW A LOT), AND PERSEVERANCE (71% SAID THEY GREW A LOT). IN ADDITION, OUR PROGRAMS WERE HIGHLIGHTED AS BRIGHT SPOTS AMONG PEERS BY PARTNERS THE STUDENT SUCCESS NETWORK AND BOSTON AFTER SCHOOL AND BEYOND FOR OUR EFFICACY IN HELPING STUDENTS TO DEVELOP SOCIAL EMOTIONAL SKILLS.LONG-TERM IMPACT:COMPARED WITH STUDENTS OF ALL BACKGROUNDS NATIONWIDE, HL STUDENT-ATHLETES ARE MORE LIKELY TO GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL (89% VS. 85%), ENROLL IN COLLEGE (80% VS. 67%), AND PERSIST IN COLLEGE (87% VS, 74%). ALTHOUGH HARLEM LACROSSE WAS FOUNDED AS A MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAM, WE HAVE FOUND THAT A LONG-TERM CONNECTION WITH OUR STUDENTS IS A VITAL DRIVER IN OUR IMPACT. IN 2018, WE APPROVED A THREE-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN THAT WILL ENSURE THAT EVERY HARLEM LACROSSE MIDDLE SCHOOL PARTICIPANT HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE TO BENEFIT FROM HARLEM LACROSSE IN HIGH SCHOOL, FOLLOWING A SUCCESSFUL PILOT AT FREDERICK DOUGLASS ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL. IN THE FALL OF 2019, WE LAUNCHED TWO ADDITIONAL HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAMS IN NEW YORK AND BALTIMORE. 3473829 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 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 24 0 1 72 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 15 15 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 (SINCE SEPT '18) 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 MAUREEN DIBBLE DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 EVAN VOSBURGH DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 DANIEL BLACK DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTOPHER BALDWIN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 DOM STARSIA DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 ERIC BACHMANN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTINE SAILER DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 LOUIS SALEMY SECRETARY 10.00 X X 0 0 0 PAUL DICARLO TREASURER 10.00 X X 0 0 0 SIMON CATALDO PRESIDENT 10.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHAEL LEVIN CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER 75.00 X 162356 0 120 162356 0 120 1 0 1 0 0 332166 3419487 150562 3751653 PROGRAM REVENUE 711210 90000 90000 90000 487 487 276876 332166 276876 0 OTHER INCOME 900099 325 325 325 3842465 90000 0 812 21482 21482 165120 55040 55040 55040 2460451 2016048 238918 205485 23589 18641 2625 2323 311587 250014 32843 28730 155533 122911 17305 15317 10216 10216 84355 84355 163284 58225 79306 25753 101255 8185 60085 32985 93376 60258 28127 4991 41919 1841 14652 25426 22641 1127 18816 2698 61620 56581 5039 PROGRAM EXPENDITURES 506380 494452 4048 7880 DONATED LACROSSE EQUIPM 150562 150562 COACHES 113997 113997 MISCELLANEOUS 54237 43165 9839 1233 33578 1300 200 32078 4575182 3473829 661414 439939 578152 643183 803263 50199 179790 145000 46648 53651 1607853 892033 113602 167359 62775 25915 176377 193274 X 1047131 198759 384345 500000 1431476 698759 1607853 892033 -732717 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1025203 1358587 839698 3094874 3751653 10070015 1025203 1358587 839698 3094874 3751653 10070015 175651 9894364 421 1571 430 643 487 3552 325 325 10073892 465000 0.98220 0.90560 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 X 3927184 84719 84719 3842465 0 3842465 4659901 84719 84719 4575182 0 4575182 PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION IS A NONPROFIT CORPORATION 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.
