It doesn’t matter what your favorite basketball team is or even what brand of car you drive. We can all agree that giving back to kids is an honorable way to spend your time and your money.
That is why I was stoked to hear about Kia teaming up with the Oklahoma City Thunder. They came together and dedicated an outdoor basketball court to the Boys and Girls club of Norman Center for Children and Families. As you can imagine this time of year, it can get a little chilly outside but with the warmth something like this does on the inside of you, no one really minded. This was the 11th basketball court that the Thunder Cares Foundation has either built or renovated. The kids got to swarm the court and shoot hoops with a couple of NBA players.
“This court is a vital addition to our organization,” said Fitzgerald. “The court will bring fun and great joy to our children and serves as a symbol to the children of our community that the Thunder cares about them and supports their dreams for the future.”
Few of the adults on hand were immune from helping to keep the play going as the evening stretched on. Jesse Herrera with Kia Motors America passed and rebounded as he watched so many young faces light up using the court that Kia, in partnership with the Thunder Cares Foundation, helped to build. “This is our second court refurbishment project over the last few years (with the Thunder), and seeing the smiles on the kids' faces makes it all worth it. We hope this court provides many smiles for years to come,” Herrera noted. For the Thunder, the night represented everything that its community programs stand for: fun, fitness and fueling dreams.
