The Grove's Annual
Shoe Drive
For the past seven years, we’ve held an annual basketball shoe drive within our program. Our goal is to support players in our community who may not have the means to purchase new basketball shoes. We also distribute like-new shoes for outdoor use, allowing players to preserve their indoor shoes and prevent unnecessary wear and tear. Ultimately, we hope to provide every child in our program with a brand-new pair of shoes.
The Grove's Clinics
Over the years, we’ve organized and supported numerous basketball camps and clinics, some with hundreds of kids in attendance. Our goal with this initiative is to provide an experience that many players might not otherwise have the opportunity to attend. Camps and clinics can be expensive, especially when travel to another city adds to the overall costs. By hosting these events, we’re able to enrich our basketball community on a larger scale, bringing people together under one roof, all for the love of the game.
NON-PROFIT
Efforts
The Grove Community Collective is a nonprofit organization based in San Jose, CA. Our mission is to strengthen our community through the platform of basketball. We offer scholarships to players to help subsidize training costs, run free camps and clinics, and donate basketball shoes to players in need.
In addition, The Grove connects with other local nonprofit organizations to create a supportive ecosystem for our community. We partner with organizations that offer academic scholarships, support youth girls' basketball, provide mental health resources, and much more.
