David Thompson presents the global Basketball Challenge to World Council.
Delegates at the 17th World Council of YMCAs in Hong Kong, have just voted to unanimously to support a YMCA World Record attempt in basketball.
Central YMCA and YMCA England have proposed that on the morning of the Olympic Basketball Final at London 2012, that YMCAs all around the world will shoot hoops at the same time in the record attempt, aiming for at least 2 million participants from the 45 million current YMCA members.
This unanimous support provides Central YMCA a mandate to lead this challenge on behalf of the global YMCA movement.
Central YMCA’s David Thompson said:
“What a brilliant response from the eighty-five countries represented here in Hong Kong. This will enhance the world’s view of the YMCA as a force for good, locally, nationally and internationally.
Basketball was invented by the YMCA and it’s fitting that we will be using the sport to unite globally and showcase our work and impact. Detailed planning starts here.”
We want you to be a part of this global event.
