Dallas Mavericks In the Community
On Wednesday, October 21, 2009, Mavs front office and game-day entertainment employees collaborated with the Volunteer Center of North Texas on refurbishing projects at St. Philip’s Academy in Dallas, Texas.
The crew arrived at the school in the morning to begin various tasks including planting flowers in the front of the building, repainting parts of the school, organizing the library, and spending time with the students. In the spirit of giving back to the community and its children, Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Quinton Ross joined a group of kids in a game of dodge ball during recess and read to another group of children in the library. The students were very enthusiastic about their surprise visitor!
The volunteer project was part of the NBA Cares Week of Service. During the week of October 19th-26th, each NBA team participates in hands-on service projects in their communities.
Special thanks to Glidden-AkzoNobel Paints, The Home Depot and Jack in the Box for their support of this event.
