Classlete (www.classlete.com/organizations), the leading digital platform for youth sports organizations and private schools that helps teams boost community visibility, capture their athletes' moments, and unlock new fundraising revenue streams through branded Digital and Printed Sports Cards is proud to announce a new partnership with Niagara region’s largest basketball club, the Pelham Panthers Basketball Association (PPBA).  

Through this collaboration, all Pelham Panthers athletes—including those playing with the Niagara JUEL girls basketball club—will gain access to the Classlete platform, providing them with unique tools to showcase their story both on and off the court.

Every PPBA athlete will receive a FREE Digital Sports Card to be shared on social media, which can also feature PPBA's own QR code driving viewers to its main web page as well as an optional sponsor logo placement. This not only provides athletes with a personalized keepsake but also creates a new revenue stream and fundraising offering for the club. The proceeds from any Printed Sports Card sales will go directly back to supporting the Pelham Panthers Basketball Association, reinvesting back in its athletes and programs.

Classlete makes the process low lift and easy for the club, with ready-to-use marketing assets such as branded sign-up website landing pages, email templates, press materials, and promo videos—all designed to drive parent and athlete adoption seamlessly.

The platform is also built with safety and security in mind. Athletes or parents simply upload their own photos to create their cards, eliminating the need for professional photography. All images are reviewed and flagged by its AI Content Moderation tool to ensure appropriate content is only used in the player images uploaded to the platform.

“At the Pelham Panthers, our goal is to develop athletes on the court while also helping them prepare for their future,” said Brian Bleich, President of the Pelham Panthers Basketball Association. “Classlete gives our players a cool novel keepsake to memorialize their season, while also providing tools that create visibility and fundraising capabilities. It’s a valuable partnership that supports our athletes, families, and the basketball community at large, differentiating our program's offerings from others in the region.”

Through this partnership, Classlete and the Pelham Panthers Basketball Association are reinforcing their shared commitment to developing the whole athlete—athletically, academically, and personally—while giving players a digital platform to celebrate their journey.
