Our Team
BoyzABC was started early in 2013 by two 7th graders at Mill Valley Middle School (MVMS), David Fineman and Ryan Hemmeter, when David found out that his mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. David and Ryan rallied a group of their friends to organize a basketball fundraiser called “March Madness Makes a Difference”, a free throw shooting event with all proceeds going to the Hugo Breast Cancer Research Fund at UCSF, which supports women with breast cancer in Marin County and the San Francisco Bay Area. Since 2013, the organization has grown to include more girls and boys and more events.
