Now imagine approaching that young person with a ball under your arm and a smile on your face. Immediately the message being sent is one of friendliness, of fun – of connection.

Inspired by the Basketball Cop Foundation, we have started a new initiative called Balls4Connection. We have donated balls to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office and Fort Myers Police Department for them to use as a way to make a connection with a young person. Maybe they will give it to a young man to just break the ice and talk…maybe they’ll even shoot around with them. The idea is to break down barriers and make connections to help them all see each other in a different light.
