 In 1989, Eddie Lee Wilkins decided it was time to share his success with the community which gave so much support in his long climb to the NBA (New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers). In 1990, the ELW Summer Youth Basketball Program and League began with a total of 150 youth. Today, the ELW Youth Association, Inc. provides a multitude of sports, educational, and social intervention programs to youth in the Cartersville/Bartow County community. The program has enhanced the lives of thousands of youth over the years. Our programs have become a much-anticipated fixture each year, particularly during the summer months.
