Local non-profit Partnership: Haitian Sports Foundation (HSF)
Varsity Team Associated: University of Ottawa, Women’s basketball program
Project: Building of an outdoor Sports Complex
Goal: $12,000
Basket Plus has created a partnership with a local organization in Anse-à-Veau, Haiti, which uses sports as an educational tool. Haitian Sports Foundation (HSF) was founded in 2006 and is a non-profit organization dedicated to uplift the children of Haiti through the use of sports activities.
HSF has been working with local social organizations to provide assistance to children between the ages of 6 through 17 years old, with the belief that each child has the potential to succeed if the opportunity is provided to him or her. HSF is determined to work with established organizations to provide the environment needed to develop children through formal education and sports activities.
Basket Plus offered the opportunity to the University of Ottawa women’s basketball team to be involved in their second project. The goal is to raise $15,000 in order to build an outdoor Sports Complex and assist HSF with their programs. The entire amount is going towards the building of the Sports Complex, no administration fee involved.
