Kimo Bear Project www.kimobearproject.com

Our Mission:

North Bay Basketball Academy (NBBA) is committed to providing quality instruction in all aspects of basketball, with an emphasis on fundamentals and skill development. NBBA will strive to enhance each athlete's skills in an effort to better equip them for their short and long-term goals. Our goal is to give our athletes the necessary skills to perform successfully in basketball and life with an emphasis on sportsmanship, respect, responsibility, leadership and teamwork.

North Bay Basketball Academy has partnered with Kimo Bear Project, a non-profit agency that provides children with cancer their own Kimo Bear. A Kimo Bear serves as a therapeutic play aid for children during chemotherapy treatments. All of the money raised through sponsorships will go directly to Kimo Bear Project to assist in funding of the bears with a percentage going towards NBBA’s scholarship fund. Part of Kimo Bear Projects mission is to provide less fortunate youth with opportunities within the community. Kimo Bear Project feels partnering with NBBA helps achieve this aspect of their mission. The partnership was created to provide NBBA athletes with the opportunity to participate with Kimo Bear Project to deliver the bears to children going through chemotherapy. Through this partnership, Kimo Bear will help NBBA athletes that have financial need.

It is with this main goal of developing responsible youth that we seek sponsors to support our mission. All sponsorship donations are tax deductible.

Scholarship Fund:

North Bay Basketball Academy established the NBBA Scholarship Fund in 2010. In 2012, NBBA awarded over $48,750 in financial assistance to approximately 300 individual families, some of whom received aid over multiple seasons. Scholarships are income based and all applicants must provide financial information in order to receive partial or full benefits. NBBA feels that all youth who are motivated and dedicated to becoming a better basketball player should have the opportunity to play regardless of their financial situation. NBBA Scholarship fund covers player AAU registration and fees, uniforms, skills development programs, shooting academies, small group workouts and summer camps.
