Grinders Basketball Foundation, a non-profit organization, has held its sixth edition of the “Back to School” outreach program, providing support to 50 students from various educational institutions across Nigeria.
The event, which took place over the weekend in Abuja, saw the beneficiaries receive a cash sum and other essential educational materials to aid their academic pursuits.
Igoche Mark, a proud supporter of the foundation’s initiative, expressed his delight in associating with the program. “I feel proud whenever basketball is used as a vehicle to reach out to the most vulnerable in society through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR),” Mark said. He assured of his continued support for basketball development in the country.
Alhassan Joseph Enbago, Secretary of the foundation, revealed that the beneficiaries were carefully selected from primary, secondary schools, and tertiary institutions within Nigeria. He described the sixth edition as successful and promised improvements in the seventh edition.
The “Back to School” program is a testament to Grinders Basketball Foundation’s commitment to using basketball as a tool for social impact. By providing educational support to underprivileged students, the foundation aims to empower them to reach their full potential.
With the success of this edition, the foundation looks forward to expanding its reach and impact in future initiatives.
