The Chinese community club was an idea conceived by a group of Chinatown business men and community leaders to support youth activities. The group was officially started in May of 1945 with one of the main goals being to raise $300,000 in five years in order to erect a community and recreation center in Chinatown. The club’s membership and sponsored activities were limited to males only; it is unclear whether this policy changed as the organization evolved. The club went on to sponsor many of the teams that were active through the Church of All Nations. They began sponsors of the “Chinatown Midgets” basketball team after they famously won the Police Athletic League championship midget basketball tournament in 1945 after a 25 game winning streak.
