JAMES HARDEN COURT

Olivier A. Ganthier (OliGa) and I joined forces in collaboration with Brooklyn Nets star James Harden to create a new court in Haiti.

Harden, through his Impact13 Foundation, donated approximately 5,000 essential supplies to children in Haiti, including performance apparel such as Adidas backpacks, socks, shoes, water bottles and basketballs as well as personal hygiene products such as Art of Sport deodorant, body wash, and lotion to more than 300 kids. Gopuff partnered with Impact13 Foundation to donate 3,000 personal hygiene products, including condoms, tampons, menstrual pads and postpartum underwear.

Additionally, Harden partnered with Foundation Barbancourt in Haiti and local artist Olivier A. Ganthier and I to supply a new basketball court that features our creative artwork.

“Leading by example is the best way I can inspire others to step up and join the effort to help change lives for the better. I’ve read about the poverty in Haiti and the disadvantages they face every day, and I want to make sure I am doing my part to help where I can.”
