HARRISON AND BRITTANY BARNES UNVEIL REFURBISHED COURT AT BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF THE AUSTIN AREA
San Antonio Spurs forward Harrison Barnes and his wife, Brittany, as part of their Harrison and Brittany Barnes Community Fund, unveiled a newly renovated court at the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Austin Area campus.
This is the second in a series of renovations across San Antonio, Austin and Mexico as part of the Barnes’ mission to improve access to and quality of recreational spaces in the Spurs’ core markets.
“It’s a gift and an honor to be able to give back to an organization that has positively impacted my life the way Boys & Girls Clubs has,” said Harrison Barnes in a release. “I’m a living example of the happiness and success that our young people can achieve when they’re supported and cared for in community spaces like Boys & Girls Clubs across the country, and BGCAA does an incredible job in providing this care to our Austin neighbors every day. It brings me and Brittany great joy to think of all the fun, friendship, and growth that BGCAA youth will experience on this court for years to come.”
In attendance was Spurs’ RC Buford and the Coyote as young athletes broke in the renovated court with some hoops.
The final project is scheduled to be completed in Mexico this month, according to the Spurs.
