On Friday, October 25th, 100 MAM kids gathered for a night they’ll never forget! Thanks to the generosity of Nike, Foot Locker, and Team Morant, these young athletes got to experience a truly special gift: Ja Morant’s new Ja 2 shoes, along with a jersey, shorts, socks, a backpack, and two tickets to the Memphis Grizzlies home opener the next day!
The energy was through the roof as each kid received their gear and suited up for a night of basketball. The night included an exclusive basketball clinic, where the kids rotated through stations, practicing drills and sharpening their skills under the guidance of coaches. From dribbling techniques to defensive moves, every moment was filled with excitement and energy.
With brand-new Ja 2 shoes on their feet and fresh gear, each of these kids walked out of MAM with a boost of confidence and a renewed love for the game. Check out these amazing photos to see the joy, energy, and gratitude that lit up the night! Thank you again to Nike, Foot Locker, and Team Morant for making this experience possible and showing our kids what it means to be part of the Memphis community.
When students arrived at the MAM Grizzlies Center, they received a new pair of Ja 2s and a Nike backpack filled with gear.
Youth rotated through 8 stations where they practice offensive and defensive drills with trained coaches.
Ja Morant’s father, Tee, encouraged the young athletes.
One hundred MAM youth attended this event!
