December 15, 2022 - The Vancouver Basketball Foundation™ hosted the 2nd annual Holiday Pop Up Shop! Youth enjoyed a free shopping experience of new and gently used athletic clothing, shoes and accessories that also explored the topic of financial responsibility. Students were given an allotted number of The Vancouver Basketball Foundation™ tokens. Each item in the store was priced on a points scale so students got the opportunity to shop for top brand name clothing while working on their budgeting skills. We even raffled off a pair of Jordan 1’s and a signature SLAM hoodie!
We were so impressed with student’s budgeting abilities but more so, their kindness and enthusiasm for helping friends find the perfect fit. With over 100 youth from our local partnered East Vancouver Schools joining us for this special day of shopping, celebrating and connecting as a community, we can’t wait to do it again soon!
If you are interested in donating new and gently used clothing, please contact Megan Pinske megan@vancouverbasketball.org .
