Pretty cool news coming out of Reebok today as they have announced that in collaboration with The Shaquille O’Neal Foundation and Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta (BGCMA), have unveiled a refurbished basketball court for members of the James T. Anderson Boys & Girls Club in Marietta, Ga., which is located 20 miles north of Atlanta.
Shown below, the colorful, abstract-designed court furthers the organizations’ shared commitment to youth physical activity.
“As a Reebok partner and long-time supporter and alumnus of Boys & Girls Club, I’m proud of this collaborative effort to encourage more kids to stay active and lead healthy lifestyles,” said Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal, who helped launch The Shaquille O’Neal Boys & Girls Club of Henry County last fall.
The court was executed by Project Backboard, a nonprofit whose mission is to renovate courts to help strengthen communities and encourage multi-generational play, the months-long revamp entailed sourcing brand new portable basketball hoops, repairing surface cracks and bumps, applying new layers of sealant for durability, and painting a beautiful abstract design by Atlanta-based artist Jamaal Barber (with input from Anderson Club members).
The Anderson Club court refurbishment comes just months after Reebok’s court refurbishment at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Carson, Calif., and one year after the Candy Land-themed court refurbishment at BGCMA’s A.R. “Gus” Barksdale Boys & Girls Club in Conyers, Ga. It’s all a part Reebok’s newly launched “Life is Not a Spectator Sport,” a global call to action to inspire people to pursue their passions, celebrate their individuality, and become active participants in the world around them.
