In partnership with Advanced Personnel Management (APM) employment services, the Bruton Basketball Foundation (BBF) is hosting a dynamic indigenous program at the Deniliquin Sports & Entertainment Stadium focusing on communication, teamwork, and goal-setting.
A free children’s clinic will also be hosted during the week, on Wednesday evening.
Bruton played 250 NBL games between 1979 and 1992, and said the initiative is about more than just basketball.
“I want these participants to understand that there are people like me who care about their journey,” he said.
“It’s about giving back and helping them take that first step toward a brighter future.”
The Brutons will be in Deniliquin from Tuesday to Friday.
The Department of Employment and Workplace Relations will also be involved in the program, attending on Thursday.
The program in Deniliquin is part of BBF’s broader mission to use basketball as a tool for engagement, growth, and community connection.
APM regional manager Vanessa Grant organised for the NBL champions to also host the children’s clinic during their stay.
Everyone is invited to attend and learn new skills and meet the legends.
This will take place on Wednesday from 5.30pm to 6.30pm at the stadium.
Grant said supporting the clinic is stadium manager John Arthur, Edge FM, Deni Workwear & Uniforms, Intersport Deniliquin and other local employers and stakeholders.
