The Miami HEAT in partnership with Florida Blue and Papa John’s Pizza hosted a HEAT Back-to-School event to show continued support for the Surfside community. Students at Ruth K. Broad Bay Harbor K-8 Center (RKBBH K-8) have been heavily affected by the Champlain Towers South collapse in Surfside, which occurred almost two miles away.
Students participated in basketball drills prior to receiving a care package from HEAT players KZ Okpala and u04e6mer Yurtseven, filled with school supplies including: a HEAT drawstring bag, a composition book, folder, pencils, highlighter, bookmark, water bottle, wired earbuds, facemask and a free pizza flyer from Papa John’s Pizza.
