BOSTON \u2014 On Friday, February 21, the Boston Celtics, partnering with Dunkin\u2019, revealed new renovations to the Edgerley Family South Boston Boys & Girls Club.<\/p>\n
Celtics Forward Torrey Craig and mascot \u201cLucky\u201d the Leprechaun joined to celebrate the new renovations, alongside 50 youth from South Boston neighborhoods.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is extremely important for kids to have facilities like this, another outlet to play basketball, and be with your friends,\u201d said Boston Celtics player Torrey Craig. \u201cIt builds a lot of character and leadership skills being around one another.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Edgerley Family South Boston Boys & Girls Club has been a large, vital community hub since 1938, helping give 550 young people per year a safe and welcoming space.<\/p>\n
The new gym provides a refurbished court with two new bleachers, new and repaired hoops, backboards and dividers, and padding on certain areas.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are honored to partner once again with one of Boston\u2019s most iconic brands to fuel the heart of the city: our local community,\u201d said Dunkin\u2019 franchisee, Victor Carvalho. \u201cTeaming with the Celtics after their banner season to support young fans through this renovation is not only a chance to inspire the community \u2014 but also a true inspiration for us to have the chance to connect with and learn from future generations of athletes and leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n
This marks the second renovation Dunkin\u2019 has participated in with the Boston Celtics. Last year, both organizations unveiled renovations to The Salvation Army Boston South End Corps Community Center alongside C\u2019s player Xavier Tillman.<\/p>\n
