Each year sparks a new idea and a new cause – and this year we wanted to help take some of the burden off of parents. So we partnered with a Chesapeake, Virginia based non-profit, Parents In Need (P.I.N.) who help the needs of young children. We asked P.I.N. what’s is their most desired item requested and it was diapers.
So to compete in this years tournament, we asked each player to donate a box of diapers.
“It started back in 2017 with Hurricane Maria down in Puerto Rico. My wife has family in Puerto Rico. We decided to a basketball tournament and collect non-perishable food items to send down there. That’s how Ball for a Cause and the foundation started,” said James.
Four years later, they’re teaming up with the organization to collect 10,000 diapers for the holidays to help parents in need.
“It’s a lot going on,” said James. “Like I said, everyone has their own battles they’re facing individually. For us to do something that’s positive and help someone in need, it means a lot.”
