As the largest free basketball camp in the Caribbean, Basketball Smiles relies heavily on companies in The Bahamas for assistance that share our vision – “bringing a week of smiles and hope through basketball” to the children of The Bahamas. We are so grateful to Caribbean Bottling Co. Bahamas for joining as partners with Basketball Smiles. It is so encouraging to us to have an iconic and prestigious brand like Coca Cola sharing the vision of Basketball Smiles to help serve the children of The Bahamas. We are excited about this partnership and to share this video in gratitude to CBCB - from the campers, coaches, and volunteers of Basketball Smiles we say THANK YOU!!
