Lft to Rt: Muggsy Bogues, Second Harvest E.D. Jo-Anne Sobie, Mike Gartner
On January 21st, Second Harvest organized a food delivery and basketball clinic with Eva’s youth. Former Leaf Mike Gartner and former Raptor Muggsy Bogues spoke to about 20 youth from Place, Satellite and Phoenix. Muggsy spoke about challenges he encountered in making his dreams come true. The point guard measures 5 feet 3 inches tall, and had to battle to get coaches to take him seriously in a sport where players usually tower well over 6 feet. With determination and skill, he proved his worth.
Already accustomed to challenges greater than most people have to endure, the youth hung on to Muggsy’s every word. Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment brought duffle bags full of basketballs and after the question and answer session, Muggsy showed some very excited youth ball handling skills.
Second Harvest also brought pizza and donuts which were happily torn into after the skills clinic.
A note of gratitude goes out to Second Harvest and Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment for an important and fun day for our youth.
