Any donation is greatly appreciated and will go a long way in helping our programs. All donations are tax-deductible.
Numerous paid and volunteer positions available throughout our many programs.
A vast majority of our annual budget to fund our programs is derived from our poker fundraising. Our next event will be at a brand-new location, G’s Kitchen & Cocktails, 56129 Van Dyke Avenue, Shelby Township 48316 from March 5, 2025, to March 8, 2025. No poker experience is needed at all.

Basketball Clinics
A special thanks to all who came out on January 18, 2025, for Filipino Heritage Night when the Detroit Pistons took on the Phoenix Suns. As a result of your support, we are able to provide FREE basketball clinics for our youth.
This year, we are proud to announce that the clinics will be led by Coach Rose Sarmiento Temple from Lansing Catholic High School, and Coach Rodney Refuerzo from Henry Ford II High School.
The Youth Basketball clinics will be held on:
February 8 and February 15, 2025
2:00 - 5:00 pm
UWM Sports Complex
867 South Blvd. E.
Pontiac 48341
2:00 - 3:00pm Elementary (1st-5th grade)
3:00 - 4:00pm Middle (6th-8th grade)
4:00 - 5:00pm High School (9th-12th grade)
Players must be of Filipino heritage (blood, marriage, adoption) aged 6 - 17 years old.
No walk-ins will be allowed as all players MUST REGISTER ONLINE to participate. Click here to register as soon as possible as it is free to participate. Registration deadline is February 7, 2025.
Although FAST-D will provide all the court time and equipment, please ensure your child has proper athletic clothing and indoor gym shoes (no outside shoes allowed) for the clinics.
Note that these clinics are used for training and evaluation purposes as the players will be assigned to a squad based on skill and size for the 2025 Youth Basketball League, if they choose to participate.
The league opens on February 22, 2025 and runs through end of May with games starting at 2:00 pm at the UWM Sports Complex. Depending on the interest, we are looking to fill teams for all divisions. More detailed information is available here or you can contact Art Orzame (aorzame@fastdetroit.org).
Thank you again for your continued support of FAST-D!
