Full Court Peace is a Connecticut based, not-for-profit organization dedicated to bringing kids from different socioeconomic backgrounds together; FCP creates meaningful opportunities for interaction between boys and girls ages 10 to 18, both on and off of the basketball court. "Our youth lack ample opportunities to interact with one another, to truly understand one another, and to forge friendships across racial and socioeconomic lines. We are effectively raising children who will promote the status quo — a nation divided by race, class and income. The farther we slide away from each other, the less unified we are as a society, and the less prepared our children are to be socially competent citizens of this society."- Founder and Executive Director, Mike Evans
