Show Notes

Not every family can afford to put their kids in sports. While basketball might not require a lot of equipment, making sure those in need have access to basic gear is a key part of the Surge’s community work. 

In this episode, hosts Sarah Palmer and Nash Hanna take you through the Surge’s role in building the Century Garden’s triple court and how they helped create a program that puts sneakers in the hands of underprivileged kids.

This series was created in partnership with the Community Podcast Initiative. Learn more about the CPI at thepodcaststudio.ca.
