One of the very first Bulls initiatives was born out of a direct need in our community for kids playing in our Franklin/South Auckland Leagues. The right footwear is extremely important and we believe all kids playing in our leagues need the right tools to be able to learn with confidence.
One of Our Missions:
-
Create opportunities for young people to pursue their dreams, especially in the sport of basketball and remove barriers to play.
We do this by working to ensure that all kids who want to play our sport have:
-
A pair of adequate basketball shoes to use on court or at home to train or play in.
-
A ball to be able to practice with.
-
Access to a hoop, at home, school or at a local facility.
These initiatives are not simply sport orientated, but more about ensuring that every young person has access to activity, friendship as part of the team or club and has no restrictions for access to be able to achieve their goals.
HOW DO WE FIND OUR YOUNG PEOPLE?
Thanks to our local heroes, we are able to provide resources to young people through existing clubs or organisations who are already working with tamariki in our communities.
DONATE A PAIR OF NEW OR USED BASKETBALL OR ATHLETIC SHOES
2022 TARGET - 50 PAIRS
DONATING NEW SHOES?
STEP 1. Fill in online form. See below
STEP 2. Drop the shoes off to Stirling Sports, Pukekohe.
DONATING SECOND HAND SHOES?
Most basketball players accumulate shoes, especially young players who grow out of theirs and most of the time these shoes are still adequate for use by someone else.
HOW IT WORKS
STEP 1. Find your shoes and decide you want to donate them.
STEP 2. Rate Them: Poor, Average, Good or Excellent. WE ONLY ACCEPT GOOD OR EXCELLENT
STEP 4. Put them in an old shoe box or a box you can find and write your name and email address on a piece paper and place in one of the shoes.
STEP 5. Fill in online form. See below
STEP 6. Drop the shoes off to Stirling Sports, Pukekohe.
Once we receive them we touch them up, put new inner soles in them and then find an appropriate home for them.
We also take donations of brand new shoes and we are excited to partner with footwear suppliers who help us with inner soles and new kicks for our kids.
Conditions: Not every shoe that is donated will be passed on. This is usually due to quality and condition. Remember these shoes are being donated to children and communities that will love and use them, so all shoes we pass on must be of a certain standard. A standard you would be proud to have and own.
Reasons shoes will not be passed on:
-
Soles unusable on courts.
-
Rips and tears.
-
Unrepairable damage.
-
Shoes look too old and in poor quality.
