Pendleton AAU thanks Wildhorse Foundation for grant

The Pendleton Basketball Club wishes to express its thanks for a 2020 Wildhorse Foundation Grant allowing the club to provide new equipment and new uniforms for the AAU basketball program.

The Wildhorse Foundation Grant enabled the club to purchase equipment that helped Pendleton-area youth develop their athletic prowess. In an effort to develop the skills of area youth, PBC purchased a basketball shooting machine to assist Pendleton athletes at all levels (elementary, middle, and high school) get the repetition and arch development necessary to develop their skills. Volunteer coaches were able to use the machine in practices to help build and improve Pendleton youth basketball programs.

In addition, PBC was able to replace old and tattered uniforms and purchase new basketballs for each team. The group’s old basketballs will be distributed to local schools for use in physical education classes.

The Pendleton Basketball Club is honored to be a recipient of the Wildhorse Foundation Grant for the year 2020, and more importantly we are thankful for the opportunity to improve, and strengthen, Pendleton youth basketball programs.
