Just one day prior to the 76ers 2020-21 season opener, the team visited the Bartram Village Community Center in Southwest Philadelphia to welcome the 15 newest members of the organization.
By way of honorary one-day contracts, 15 youth, selected by the Philadelphia Housing Authority, were treated to a day of surprises as part of the team’s annual Holiday Hoopla, presented by The GIANT Company.
While these 15 youth did not suit up for the team’s opener against the Washington Wizards on Dec. 23, they all did receive their very own customized jersey and gifts from their holiday wish list.
“While [Holiday Hoopla] may look different this year, we know that this once-in-a-lifetime experience will bring some much-needed joy and create unforgettable memories for the kids and their families,” said Matt Simon, Chief Marketing Officer, The GIANT Company.
