Slam dunk relationship: Edmonton Stingers help out at McCauley Boys and Girls Club
Basketball games at the McCauley Boys and Girls Club just got way more exciting.
Members of the Edmonton Stingers have signed up as volunteers on a casual basis.
“Our kids here at the McCauley Club love basketball,” said Jenna Brewer with Boys and Girls Club Big Brothers Big Sisters of Edmonton and Area.
“So to see somebody who actually plays professional basketball and have that one-on-one attention is incredible,” Brewer said.
Forward Akeem Ellis and point guard Xavier Moon were shooting hoops with kids on Tuesday, signalling the start of a summer-long commitment to the club.
“Throughout the season they are going to kind of pop in to the clubs when they have a free moment to hang out with our kids,” said Brewer, “the whole team eventually will run through.”
