Charles Chiara
Charles Chiara is the President of Teamwork Foundation, Inc., and the New York Gauchos.
The most important argument we can make for the continued success and growth of the New York Gauchos basketball program is that this is not an idea, a theory, or an experiment. It is simply a program that works. It is a program that is actually making a difference, every day, every hour by helping thousands of young people get into college and on to a better way of life. The need cannot be ignored and we don't. We strive to grow our program each and every year and we hope that our success is a template for future programs throughout the country.
The New York Gaucho basketball program was founded in 1967 by Lou d'Almeida as an adjunct of the Westside Y. Now in it's 43rd year, the New York Gauchos offers kids from across the New York City metropolitan area a competitive nationally ranked AAU basketball experience for young men and women ages 5 to 18 who aspire to pursue a college education.
Teamwork Foundation's New York Gauchos program was established on the vigorous premise that sports activity could reshape and offer new direction to the lives of high school dropouts and in the process, assist troubled youths in establishing real roots in the huge housing complexes in which they are growing up.
