Big Yard Book & Ballers
“It always seems impossible until it’s done.”
– Nelson MandelaBooks & Ballers
Big Yard teamed up with Friends of The Children to put on our Books and Ballers event. Nearly 100 kids in the FOC programs showed up with their “friends” and were able to pick out as many books as they lined on their Big Yard journey.
