In a release to the media, Youth Basketball Guyana (YBG) has expressed gratitude to receive a donation of 60,000 3-ply face mask from California to the Guyana Basketball Foundation; a non-profit organisation based in the United States and headed by Brad Doan, a USA basketball certified coach.
The released noted that, “Currently we are still unable to say for sure when we could return to active play since school is out and the coronavirus pandemic is yet to be brought under control. Nevertheless, with this donation, we are able to contribute to the efforts to combat this deadly virus in a meaningful way, as we remind all of our student-athletes of the necessity to wear a face mask, whenever in public or among other people, and to adhere to the public preventative guidelines as a vital new habit.”
With this donation, YBG will seek to provide some support to the basketball fraternity, National Schools Basketball Festival (NSBF) participating schools and some other community partners in support of their efforts.
YBG reiterated its gratefulness stating that, “On behalf of all the groups and individuals who will benefit from this donation, I would like to thank Brad and his team and backers for donating lifesaving personal protective equipment for a sizable segment of our youth, we appreciate your thoughtfulness and generosity.”
