Sports Basement

Supports: Give Camp to Kids Program (2010-2011)

Edventure More is very excited about a new partnership we’ve formed with Sports Basement.  If you don’t know them yet, they are a sporting-goods retailer with four locations in the San Francisco Bay Area; in San Francisco at Bryant Street and Old Mason, as well as in Walnut Creek and Sunnyvale. Although their stores are huge, they see themselves as a partner in the community too; offering yoga classes, dance lessons, and even snacks and space for our staff trainings!

The best part about our partnership is that Sports Basement has given us 10% off coupons for each time our Camper Families visit their stores – with 10% of purchase proceeds going directly to our Give Camp to Kids Program, making sure underserved kids get the quality summer enrichment they need and deserve.
