Heat center Bam Adebayo, in partnership with his Bam, Books & Brotherhood Foundation, on Saturday will unveil a new fitness center and basketball court at the Chapman Partnership in Homestead.
The event will include the unveiling of the fitness center, followed by a push-up contest featuring Adebayo and a shooting competition.
At the event, Adebayo will announce Bam’s Book Club, a revamp of a Chapman Partnership program that will task youth with reading one book a month, beginning in October and running through the NBA season. At the end of each month, the highest score from a quiz will receive Heat tickets.
Chapman Partnership “provides comprehensive programs and services in collaboration with others that empower their residents with dignity and respect to overcome homelessness and achieve and maintain long-term self-sufficiency.”
