On Nov. 1, Cleveland-Cliffs and the Cavs launched their "Bigger Than Basketball" Community Tour that will visit five Ohio communities during the 2022-23 NBA season. The new initiative will focus on providing resources for underserved youth in each community by teaming up with local agencies to help identify specific needs, such as clothing, food security and recreation. Each visit on the tour will also include Cavs fun with basketball youth clinics for participating kids and appearances from Cavs entertainments teams.
The first stop for the Bigger Than Basketball tour was Mansfield, Ohio where the Cavs and Cliffs partnered with The New Store, Friendly House and Children’s Hunger Alliance of Richland County.
The second event of the day took place at the Friendly House, a community center that provides after school programming for the immediate neighborhood and the community. The 100 youth in attendance at the Friendly House also received winter coats, courtesy of The New Store, Cavs/Cliffs hats and a meal from Children’s Hunger Alliance. As part of the fun festivities, the kids were treated to a Cavs Academy Basketball Clinic, a PowerHouse Dance Clinic and a special appearance by Cavs mascot Sir CC.
