Show your support for PYB and become a part of our future state-of-the-art center with the purchase of a personalized brick today!

Built of, by, for, and with the communities we serve, PYB has continued to provide a safe, nurturing environment for young people to build the skill-sets and mindsets they need to succeed on the court and in their education, careers, and lives. We have always envisioned a permanent home where thousands of young people can become their best selves and that dream has not wavered.

After several years of building a robust organization, an impactful suite of programs, and a powerful community together, we are ready to make that dream a reality. Following years of ongoing construction, the Alan Horwitz “Sixth Man” Center officially opened in July 2024, located in the Nicetown neighborhood of North Philadelphia.

Here, everyone in our region will find:

●     A beautiful and well-equipped facility in which young people are safe, known, and respected;

●     A space where physical, intellectual, and emotional growth are nurtured together;

●     A program home to deliver holistic programs 7 days/week for multiple hours each day;

●     A platform for economic opportunity, community empowerment, and workforce development; and

●     A place to experience Philadelphia’s basketball history and witness its future.

Join us in creating a center that will be transformative for young people and communities for generations to come.

NOTE: Bricks will be installed periodically based on number of bricks purchased as a part of the campaign.

Construction of The Alan Horwitz “Sixth Man” Center is an “all-in” community mobilization effort! People from all parts of the city and region can partake in the reality of the facility which will empower thousands of boys and girls with this state-of-the art Center. You can show your commitment to the PYB mission by purchasing a 4x8” brick for $250 with an inscription of your choice.
