Basketball to aid flood victims

From the Basketball Australia website:

The Australian basketball community has rallied to the aid of the thousands of Australians impacted by the devastating floods around the country, with teams from both the National Basketball League and Women's National Basketball League set to carry out a range of fundraising activities in the coming weeks in support of the flood victims.

All teams from the Women’s National Basketball League will hold bucket collections during the course of the next two rounds of play so that fans attending their games can give cash donations to those whose lives have been affected by the disaster.

The teams of the National Basketball League are also finalising plans for a range of fundraising activities which will occur in the next four rounds.

Good to see basketball and in particular the WNBL and NBL get behind a worthy cause.

have a look at the picture on wnbl web site of guys playing basketball in the flooded stadium.

imagine the timber floor after that water, let alone all the other damage.

maybe they could take disaster collections at some home games

the picture prompts a thought as to whether BA's fund raising efforts should be directed towards rapid recovery of the sport in flood affected areas? it would be an interesting response where you asked other associations to make donations towards the recovery, particularly of facilities, in Qld.
