Best summed up by its motto: Over 20 years of teaching more than just basketball, The No Books No Ball (NBNB) Basketball Program is a broad based community action initiative that teaches children sportsmanship, athletic prowess, and academic aptitude through team work, coaching, and mentoring provided by civic minded, volunteer role models.
Beyond its worthy year-round mission, the organization also makes a special commitment to reach out and help support those families and children in need during the Thanksgiving holiday season.

There are still many people in our community who lack the financial means to have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. In response to this, No Books No Ball started its Annual Turkey Giveaway, which has now become a tradition in the community. This year, the initiative is expected to result in the distribution of 500 turkeys to families affected by homelessness, unemployment, and personal tragedy..
