Basketball Cop Foundation's mission is to connect law enforcement agencies across the country with the kids in their communities. Basketball Cop Foundation helps supply these agencies with sports equipment to give out to the kids in their local communities through their patrol officers. These initial donations help foster stronger relationships in the community, while also giving the patrol officers a place where they can interact and nurture these relationships with kids on regular basis. As Officer Bobby White says, "Any time I have a chance, even when I'm not on active duty, to get out and interact with kids in the community, I do so." In just a short time, the foundation has supplied basketball goals and balls to 27 different law enforcement across the country, connecting hundreds of officers with thousands of kids. The Ignite Hope Court at Ignite Life Center marks the third court we have built here in Gainesville, Florida. Together as a community, we can make a difference in the future of our country's youth.
