I M PA C T REPORT
To the SquashBusters Community, Family has always been at the heart of who we are at SQB. I have been fortunate to be a part of this family for over two decades, and I am inspired to know that with every passing year, more students will one day be able to say the same thing. For our young people, SquashBusters is more than squash and academics; it’s a second family and a second home. They know SQB is a place where they can learn, compete, grow, and build lasting connections, as any home should be. My first year as CEO has been rewarding and exciting and challenging. There has been a steep learning curve, but one thing that has remained constant is the love and commitment demonstrated by our staff, students, alumni, and incredible supporters like you. Without a doubt, the highlight of the year was the fulfillment of our original promise in Lawrence — opening The New Balance Foundation SquashBusters Center. In seven short months, enrollment has doubled and the community has filled our spaces, including dozens of urban squash programs as we played host to SEA’s Urban Individuals Tournament.
00% of our high school seniors graduated with 1 meaningful post-secondary opportunities in place and are enrolled at colleges and universities around New England.
ummer camps at schools like Brown University, S University of Rochester, Northeastern, and Choate Rosemary Hall allowed our students to stretch their academic wings.
tudents traveled across the country, and even abroad, S to perfect their nicks, lobs and drops, and compete with peers.
e deepened our connection to all our communities W with service projects and site visits at farms, shelters, senior centers and parks. Our post-secondary students and alumni reminded us how enduring this family truly is, returning for alumni matches and celebrations and providing expertise as coaches, college students and mentors.
I invite you to explore this year’s Impact Report which highlights the stories, achievements, and connections that make SquashBusters so special. Thank you for being part of this family and for helping us continue to build a future filled with opportunity and belonging. With gratitude,
Rodney G.

Adrianna McClintock SQB LAWRENCE 2025, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2029
AT SQUASHBUSTERS, ADRIANNA FOUND A PLACE WHERE SHE COULD JUST BE A KID. Having suffered significant loss early in her life, Adrianna’s elementary and middle school years were difficult, despite her grandparents providing a loving home. Shouldering more responsibility than the typical sixth grader, home wasn’t always a place where Adrianna felt she could let go and have fun: “When I was home, I spent my time helping with my little brother and doing work around the house. But when I came to SquashBusters, I just got to be a kid and that was really nice.” At SquashBusters, Adrianna quickly gained a new network of support, making friends with her teammates, and building strong relationships with staff.

S Q UA S H B U S T E R S I M PA C T R E P O RT / 2 0 2 4 - 2 0 2 5
In 9th grade, Adrianna was given the opportunity to attend Brooks School, a boarding school outside the city of Lawrence. At the time, SQB Lawrence was still running programs at Brooks, allowing Adrianna to stay in touch with her SquashBusters family. “I popped into the courts between practice and classes because it was important for me to stay connected to home.” Understanding the stressors of living away from home, SQB supported Adrianna during her most challenging times. “When I couldn’t talk to my family, I knew I could go to SquashBusters and talk to the people there who really knew me.” After four years at Brooks, Adrianna is now a freshman at Columbia University. Despite moving states, Adrianna knows she’ll always have a home to return to in Lawrence; “SquashBusters became a sanctuary...it’s more than a program; it’s the family I gained, and it’s my home.”

Dariely Gomez & Robert Tejada SQB PROVIDENCE 2027 SQB PROVIDENCE 2028
DARIELY GOMEZ AND ROBERT TEJADA ARE COUSINS, BUT THEY ACT MORE LIKE BROTHER AND SISTER. Growing up side by side, they were inseparable at family events and were constantly finding ways to drive one another crazy. “We care for each other,” says Dariely, “but we show it by annoying each other for fun. And we are very similar,” she continues. “We will fight until one of us wins.”
“In most cases that is her, sadly,” adds Robert with a smile. Fortunately, this close bond led Robert to try out for SquashBusters this past year, joining Dariely, who started two years ago. Dariely still recalls the memory of going to the auditorium in 8th grade and thinking “Oh no, not another speech!” Lucky for her, it turned out to be an SQB staff member talking about the program. When she heard them mention field trips, she was in. “Now that I’m in the program, I realize that it’s so much more than field trips,” she says. When Robert visited SquashBusters with his classmates from The Met High School, he was instantly hooked on squash. “I just love playing,” he says, “and having Dariely and my friend Patrick in the program made my transition easier. I am very shy, but they helped introduce me to others.” Now entering 10th and 11th grades at The Met, SQB has helped the cousins grow in different ways. Dariely credits the program with developing her patience, and Robert says it has broadened his communication skills. Thanks to the support of the staff and their teammates, SquashBusters has become a place where Dariely and Robert can thrive by improving their fitness, connecting with friends, and embracing new experiences. They both aspire to attend college to study computer science or engineering. And Robert still has one particular goal in his sights — to beat his cousin on the court.

Bermelyn, Bernin & Bernael Peña Abreu SQB LAWRENCE 2025, MIDDLESEX COMMUNITY COLLEGE 2027 SQB LAWRENCE 2030 SQB LAWRENCE 2031
NAVIGATING THE COLLEGE PROCESS CAN BE A CHALLENGE – ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU’RE THE FIRST IN YOUR FAMILY TO DO IT. Arriving in the U.S. as a fourth grader, Bermelyn remembers thinking to herself, “You need to work hard, you need to go to college — my parents came here for a reason.” As the oldest child, Bermelyn felt the pressure to set an example for her younger brothers — even if she didn’t quite know how.
At SquashBusters, Bermelyn found camaraderie with her teammates, many of whom were navigating similar challenges. Older students were eager to provide support, many of them taking on the role of an older sibling for Bermelyn. “They were always giving advice. They had the experience and knowledge...I’m glad I had people to talk to that went through the same thing.” Bermelyn also had the support of SQB staff who helped turn the daunting college application process into an achievable goal. “Breaking it down step by step, showing me what it’s going to look like and what the best options might be for me, helped a lot.” This past spring, Bermelyn graduated from Abbott Lawrence Academy. She is currently a member of the Dominican Republic National Squash team and studies Radiology at Middlesex Community College — achieving her college dream. After years of attending family events and watching their older sister travel the country for tournaments, younger brothers Bernin and Bernael were finally able to join the SQB team this year. “I’m so glad they are officially joining the SQB family. They’ll receive the same support and opportunities that I did, opportunities that they wouldn’t be able to get anywhere else. That’s what SQB is all about.” Having seen the growth in Bermelyn over the last seven years, there’s no doubt that Bernin and Bernael are in the right place to succeed.

Losângela, Kiara & Kaylee Batista SQB BOSTON 2014, ST. LAWRENCE UNIVERSITY 2018 SQB BOSTON 2018, UMASS AMHERST 2022 SQB BOSTON 2030
HAVING RECENTLY IMMIGRATED TO THE U.S., SIXTH GRADER LOSÂNGELA BATISTA COULDN’T UNDERSTAND MUCH OF WHAT WAS SHARED WHEN SQUASHBUSTERS VISITED HER MIDDLE SCHOOL, DEARBORN ACADEMY. It wasn’t until the following year when a teacher nominated her for the program that she decided to give it a try. It didn’t take long for her to feel a sense of belonging, and quickly, SquashBusters became a place that felt like home. SquashBusters helped Losângela recognize herself as a leader. Staff believed in her and reinforced her strengths, allowing her inner confidence to grow. Her growth empowered her to play college squash at St. Lawrence University, become the first in her family to earn a college degree, and pursue a master’s in education.

Living in the same house as Losângela meant that younger sister Kiara heard all about SquashBusters. When she joined the program, Kiara took advantage of everything SQB had to offer — keeping an open mind and learning from new experiences. SquashBusters helped her to dream big and now, having completed a Fulbright Scholarship in Brazil, Kiara is applying to law school. The third Batista sister, Kaylee, is 11 years younger than Kiara and 16 years younger than Losângela. Kaylee was eager to join the program, having already participated in multiple Summer Slams. Both Losângela and Kiara encourage Kaylee to say yes to every opportunity that comes her way, saying “SQB will present so many doors to you, but you have to decide to open them.”

Joyce, June & Michael Zhang SQB LAWRENCE 2018, MIDDLESEX COMMUNITY COLLEGE 2026 SQB LAWRENCE 2020, MERRIMACK COLLEGE 2024 ensure future generations have the same support she had when SQB LAWRENCE 2030 she needed it. “Being positive and having high energy can have a huge impact on a kid. SquashBusters brought positivity to my life JUNE WAS FIRST INTRODUCED TO when other things weren’t going so well, and now I want to give SQUASHBUSTERS THROUGH HER OLDER back to the students.”
SISTER, JOYCE, WHO HAD BEEN IN THE PROGRAM FOR TWO YEARS.
Naturally, June had to try it too. “I really wanted to play because I looked up to my sister and wanted to follow in her footsteps.” Barely a week after meeting the staff and trying the sport, she was all in. June became one of SQB’s most engaged middle-schoolers. During June’s sophomore year of high school, she faced a period of hardship when her older sister moved away from Lawrence. At a time when she needed support, she knew there was one place to turn. June identified SQB as her sanctuary — somewhere she could go to get away from personal challenges. “It was great to take my mind off of what was going on at home or at school.” Without her sister at home, June leaned on her SQB teammates and the staff. “Even after Joyce left, I still felt like I had older siblings here at SquashBusters. A family supports you through the good and the bad. They help you, they advise you... that’s a family, and that’s SQB.” With the support of her SquashBusters family, June continued to thrive in the program and eventually earned a full scholarship to Merrimack College. Now, she works at Holy Family Hospital and volunteers at SQB Lawrence twice a week. She’s determined to

Volunteering has also allowed June to keep a close eye on her younger brother Michael, who recently joined the program. Squash has become a family affair — you’ll find June, Michael, Joyce, and the rest of the Zhang family sharing time on the court whenever they get the chance.

Rosemary Mylod McElroy SQB CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER
THE YEAR WAS 1996, AND ROSEMARY MCELROY HAD RECENTLY MOVED TO BOSTON WHEN SHE RESPONDED TO A FLYER ASKING FOR VOLUNTEERS AT A NEW YOUTH PROGRAM, SQUASHBUSTERS. Little did she know that the simple act of showing up at the old squash courts at the Harvard Law School would lead to a lifetime of community, belonging, challenge, and the opportunity to grow personally and professionally. It would lead to a second family. The McElroys left Boston in 2000, but when they returned six years later, supporting SquashBusters quickly became a family affair. They would contribute to the very first SquashBusters Center at Northeastern; Rosemary’s husband Mike captained the Nick of Time Derby teams; her children played in SQB events (including the inaugural Junior Stakes); and her father and brother provided valuable connections for the creation of Racquet Up Detroit in her home state of Michigan. The connection deepened even further in 2014 when Rosemary joined the SQB staff and ultimately was named CFO. Over the next decade she would help SQB navigate pivotal moments: the regional expansion to Providence, the growth of post-secondary and career programming, the evolving partnership with Northeastern, and the financing and construction of the New Balance Foundation SquashBusters Center in Lawrence. When Greg retired in 2023, Rosemary served as interim CEO, providing continuity and a bridge between the Zaff-era and the exciting moment Rodney Galvao was named SQB’s new leader. 16
S Q UA S H B U S T E R S I M PA C T R E P O RT / 2 0 2 4 - 2 0 2 5
Over the course of her time with SquashBusters, Rosemary of course faced challenges, but as she reflects on them, she recognizes that they produced learning and growth, mirroring the learning and growth SQB envisions for its students. “Through working with Greg and SQB, I came to see my potential in ways I had not previously considered. It helped me define and articulate my values no matter what role I was in — know yourself, trust your relationships, and lead with love. I’ve tried to pass that on.” When reflecting on how SQB has been like a family, Rosemary says, “the ease and camaraderie and familiarity are always there. Also, as in any family, I have had the chance to watch people grow and evolve into different versions of themselves, and they have helped me do the same.” Though McElroy is winding down her time as CFO, she knows her 30-year relationship isn’t over. “I hope I am never not involved in SQB.”

THERE AREN’T MANY FAMILIES WHO CAN SAY THAT ALL FOUR CHILDREN HAVE GONE THROUGH SQUASHBUSTERS. A simple gym visit to the John D. O’Bryant School over ten years ago sparked a Vo family legacy. Beverly, the first Vo to join SquashBusters, built such a strong community through the program that she encouraged Brianna, Brooke, and Phillip to join when the time came. Initially, Beverly had to work hard to get their father on board. He was worried that the unfamiliar sport and program might distract from her academics, but he soon recognized that SquashBusters was in fact enriching her studies. After seeing her grades, her SAT results, and ultimately, the college acceptance letters, Beverly’s dad was sold. Following Beverly’s lead, Brianna, Brooke, and Phillip are all thankful that they made the commitment to SQB. Brianna was proud to have been the only student from her high school to participate in SquashBusters, developing confidence and individuality. Brooke distinctly remembers the public speaking she did as a student in the program, grateful now for the communications skills she formed. Phillip recognizes his personal development throughout the program, crediting his coaches and teammates for creating opportunities that allowed him to grow.

All of the Vo siblings emphasize that SquashBusters is a place full of connections. “The people you meet will have a lasting impact. Don’t take it for granted.” Beverly, Brianna, Brooke and Phillip envision continued involvement with SQB for years to come. Whether it’s volunteering with the program, participating in the Derby, attending alumni events, or mentoring younger students, SquashBusters will always be family for the Vos.

LIKE SO MANY SQUASHBUSTERS STUDENTS, CAMERON’S FIRST EXPOSURE TO SQUASH AND SQUASHBUSTERS WAS A SCHOOL VISIT. Just one gym visit was enough to spark his interest. When he told his mother about the program, Renee’s ears perked up because SquashBusters sounded like the perfect fit for her son. In the early days of his involvement, Cameron showed so much enthusiasm about SquashBusters that Renee knew she had to see it for herself. It was critical to her that Cameron found a community where he could be unapologetically himself and build his confidence.

S Q UA S H B U S T E R S I M PA C T R E P O RT / 2 0 2 4 - 2 0 2 5
After visiting SQB and meeting the staff, Renee witnessed the impact the organization was having on her son, bringing him out of his shell, supporting his passions, and encouraging his dreams to study paleontology. From then on, Renee tried to attend every event she could, and she too became a part of the SQB family. Reflecting on Cameron’s time as a student, Renee is particularly grateful for the assistance SquashBusters provided with the college application process. She credits the SquashBusters staff for going above and beyond, providing emotional support alongside logistical guidance. Cameron, now a graduate student at the University of Minnesota, is studying Geobiology to become a vertebrate paleontologist. Thanks to the relentless encouragement from SQB staff, Cameron is well on his way to achieving his dream.

FINANCIALS SquashBusters, thanks to our supporters, has maintained a position of financial strength throughout the fiscal year, both on an operating level and as we undertook building our new home in Lawrence. A few important notes: Both years of financials show the effects (in both revenue and expenses) of the complicated financial and operational structures required to build and operate the Lawrence facility. Most of the variances between FY24 and FY25 are a result of building financing and construction.
