NBA Legend Dikembe Mutombo Invests In FlipGive

FlipGive, a website that supports team fundraising through e-commerce, announced that NBA legend Dikembe Mutombo has joined the company as a major shareholder and global ambassador.

Through their partnership, FlipGive and Mutombo will address the problem of insufficient funding in youth sports through the company’s online shopping platform. Teams and their supporters can raise funds by shopping on FlipGive.com and receiving cash-back from more than 500 retail partners.

“Extra shifts, second jobs, foregoing groceries, selling family possessions — these are the lengths parents go to give their kids access to a sport they love,” FlipGive CEO Mark Bachman said in a statement.
