Social Basketball Christchurch supports several charities and has consistently redistributed 10% of the annual profit into local, national and international charitable works.
Those who have been around for a while will know that we have been investing some of the profit of the business into the following:
Canterbury Junior Basketball Coaching Development
Supporting elite coaches and referees of junior basketball in Canterbury.
3D International Aid Program – completed 2019.
We have just completed 7 years of child sponsorship for 3 young people who live in extreme poverty on Tibetian Plateu.
Hillmorton High Basketball Program
In 2018 we started a partnership to support year 7-13 High School Basketball at Hillmorton High. In 2022 we ran a very successful 20 team Social Basketball Tournaments kindly sponsored by The Accessman – City Branch over a weekend and raised a Total of $7500 to go directly to the Hillmorton High Basketball Program. All of the money raised will be used to pay decent coaches for the school teams and to help support kids from families who are struggling financially to get to be able to play in leagues and go to tournaments!
We are proud to be a reasonably priced social sports alternative that keeps Canterbury people healthy and active, and a business that thinks outside of ourselves and uses your participation to help others.
