While the Cavs are #ALLin216 during the playoffs, the team wants Cleveland-area children to be “ALL IN” for education all year round! To help with that, the Cavs made a surprise delivery to Stepstone Academy on Thursday, May 26.
Snapshots from the event.
Cavs in the Community news.
As part of the team’s Reading and Learning Centers initiative, presented in association with Sherwin-Williams, the Cavs surprised the Stepstone students at a school assembly. Team President Kerry Bubolz was joined by Cavs Legends Campy Russell and Elmore Smith to unveil the school’s new “Cleveland Cavaliers Reading and Technology Traveling Arena.”
The school will now have a traveling bookshelf/bench unit, two mobile technology ball carts/bookshelves, 15 brand new mini iPads and $10,000 worth of new books!
The students were also treated to a mascot puppet show with Moondog and Sir C.C. and a performance by the Cavs entertainment teams.
About Cleveland Cavaliers Reading and Learning Centers:
presented in association with Sherwin-Williams
In an effort to provide children in the Northeast Ohio region with better access to books and technology, the Cavaliers create Reading and Learning Centers in community-based organizations and schools. This allows a qualified non-profit organization to improve the condition of its current facility as well as to improve the quality of its literacy and educational programming. Since 2004, the Cavaliers have opened fifteen Reading & Learning Centers. Qualified organizations must have strong educational/literacy programs, dedicated educational staff and volunteers and provide services for children from 5-18 years.
