The Wolves are in the thick of the NBA season, but on Thursday the team took a morning away from basketball to give back to the community.
As a part of the Timberwolves and Lynx Fastbreak Foundation’s Read to Achieve Program. Timberwolves players, along with Wolves and Lynx staff from across the organization, traveled to classrooms around the cities to read to students and help spread a joy for reading and books. Across the organization, 132 people participated, visiting 13 schools and interacting with 2,715 children. Quite the impact for one morning.
Additionally, the program had a focus on Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day) which is Friday), with the books the team brought to the schools focusing on the achievements of women throughout history.
