On January 11th 2025, BTT family gathered to celebrate our achievements, recognize the people, partnerships, and shared commitment that have made 2025 so meaningful. BTT thanks our volunteers, whose time and dedication turn ideas into action; thanks to our players, whose discipline, teamwork, and passion give life to our mission; thanks to our parents and coaches, for their trust, encouragement, and constant support; and thanks to our partners and donors, whose belief in BTT enables us to grow and sustain our impact. Every milestone BTT reached in 2025 was possible because of those support. 

Year of 2025 marked an important chapter in BTT’s development. BTT successfully launched its official website and completed a full update of our social media platforms, strengthening how we communicate, connect, and share our mission with the broader community. These efforts have helped BTT become more visible, more accessible, and more connected than ever before.

BTT also made major strides in fundraising and growth. In 2025, BTT achieved corporate matching donations, with generous support from companies such as Google, Morgan, Chase, Merck and Vertex, significantly expanding our fundraising capacity. At the same time, our membership continued to grow, allowing BTT to expand beyond New Jersey to multiple states across the United States, including New York, Massachusetts and the Carolinas—an exciting step toward national reach.

In addition to growth, BTT focused on innovation and collaboration. BTT launched their first university visit program, beginning with a visit to Yale University, providing members with valuable educational exposure and inspiration. BTT also strengthened our partnership with MLTT, building a closer and more effective volunteer collaboration that has enhanced the impact and quality of our programs.
