About:
Greece Athena Boys Basketball has forged a partnership with “funds2org” for a collaborative endeavor. In this joint venture, the team’s role is to gather both new and gently used shoes, meticulously bagging them for collection. Subsequently, funds2org takes charge of retrieving these bags to fulfill the charitable objective.
The team’s primary responsibilities include promoting, collecting, and packaging the donated shoes. As a token of appreciation for their fundraising efforts, funds2org compensates the team at a rate of 40 cents per pound before proceeding with the subsequent steps.
In addition to their collaboration with funds2org, the team actively participates in various other community service initiatives, such as assisting families during Thanksgiving and Christmas. During these activities, their main focus is on contributing to the food drive component.
To date, the team has donated an impressive total of 37 bags, each containing 25 pairs of shoes. However, despite their dedication, they are not informed about the beneficiaries or destinations of their donations. Their involvement is confined to collecting and bagging the shoes, with funds2org managing the transportation and distribution logistics.
Furthermore, the team recently visited an elementary school classroom, engaging in basketball activities with the children and reading to them.
