Jerry Stackhouse, Devean George, and JJ Barea were on hand to help dedicate a newly refurbished outdoor basketball court at the Oak Cliff YMCA in South Dallas on Friday. The three Mavs were joined by representatives of the Mavs Foundation, FSN Southwest, NexCourt, the YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas and kids from Hampton Preparatory School in Oak Cliff. The dedication marked the 14th Mavs court refurbishment completed in the Metroplex since the program began in 1998.
“We are extremely excited about the refurbishing of the outdoor court at theOak Cliff Family YMCA," said Gordon Echtenkamp, President/CEO of the YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas. “This court will enable us to continue to serve the children of Oak Cliff and South Dallas, providing a safe environment in which they can play. In today’s challenging and complex world, kids need more opportunities to get outside and play, and thanks to the Mavs Foundation, the children in this community can do just that.”
The new outdoor court, worth an estimated $80,000, will allow the Oak Cliff YMCA to expand programming so that more than 500 at-risk youth and teens ages 10 -17 throughout South Dallas and Oak Cliff will have a safe place to play. The court will also give the center the ability to offer programs that enhance youth interaction and development so they will be more likely to make healthy choices and avoid a wide-range of high-risk behaviors.
