BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
Nancy Lieberman Charities, a 501c3 children’s charity in partnership with Under Armour, is proposing to refurbish the outdoor basketball courts at Naomi Drenan Recreation Center, owned by Mecklenburg County.
To date, Nancy Lieberman Charities has opened 68 Dream Courts (outdoor basketball courts) across the United States serving over 2.9 million children each year. This state-of-the-art play space gives children a safe place to play the game of basketball.
Nancy Lieberman Charities finds communities in need of a refurbished basketball court. Their charity pays to level the existing court and place down a brand-new Sport Court tile surface. Sport Court is their national partner and does all the work on their Dream Courts. The Charity, along with their partner Under Armour, has chosen the Naomi Drenan Recreation Center to place a Dream Court.
Rendering: The rendering of the proposed Dream Court has significance to the well-known basketball Curry family; Dell, Stephen, and Seth. The number 30 in the middle of the court represents the number 30 on each of their basketball jerseys. The signatures are of Dell, Stephen and Seth in the lanes on the court. They are proposing to open this court before NBA All-Star Weekend with the Curry Family, Nancy Lieberman Charities, Naomi Drenan Recreation Center and Mecklenburg County.
