Basketball Camp
!On June 25th, we will host a free basketball camp at T.R Whites Sports Complex that will be open to the public. Kids from the ages of 8-17 will be able to attend the camp. This camp will give kids the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of basketball, learn the value of hard work, accountability and create a fun community based event that everyone can enjoy.

Giving Back
In November, we plan on having a turkey, coat and hat drive. We are looking to give away 50 coats and 50 hats to people in need for the winter of 2022. KZer0 believes that giving back to people less fortunate is very important and with the increase of sicknesses during the winter, we will think this event will be beneficial to everyone involved. Also we will have the youth giving out the turkeys, coats and hats.
