More than a Game

It is not just about winning but also building character, building community and have fun,” Mayor Brenda Locke said, urging everyone to play, watch, and support.
The Inspiration Behind the Event
The idea and initiative came from Rey Fortaleza, CEO of ReyFort Media and Sports Consultant, whose efforts helped bring the event to life. John Raganit, President and Founder of Drive & Dish Basketball, told Mayor Locke the program’s vision is clear: Make Basketball Accessible To Everyone by promoting diversity, unity and camaraderie and partnering with the City of Surrey, schools, local businesses and community groups.
