Bigger Than Basketball: The Shooting Touch Gala

Shout out to Shooting Touch for hosting a stellar gala to support its programs in both Boston and Rwanda.

The international sport-for-development organization is using the power of basketball and the strength of team to create healthier futures for youth and women.

A discussion with NBA players Grant Williams and Pat Connaughton, with Tennessee’s Nate Ament, was riveting as they each candidly discussed their commitment to supporting under-resourced communities and providing life-changing access and health services.

Using the basketball court as a classroom, a clinic, and a community center, Shooting Touch creates a staging ground for lifelong impact.

Here’s to the community of sponsors, donors, and beneficiaries who gathered to drive positive change.
