National Basketball Coaches Association
 The
National Basketball Coaches Association, team general managers, NBA Athletic
Trainers Association, and the National Basketball Association is partnering with
Boys & Girls Clubs of America to bring the Coaches for Kids program to Club
members. Through the program, NBA coaches, assistant coaches, GMs and athletic
trainers will contribute to the Coaches for Kids program, which will enable BGCA to provide tickets to NBA games for more than
30,000 children in the league’s 29 markets.
Youth participating in the program will also have the opportunity to meet
with the members of the team’s basketball staff and learn the fundamentals of
the game, the values of sportsmanship and teamwork, and the benefits of a
healthy lifestyle. As part of the program, the Coaches Association has announced
that over the next 15 years, their membership will contribute $15 million for
BGCA through contributions and other fundraising
activities that will support the Coaches for Kids program.
