BEN KNIGHT CHARITY WORK – DECEMBER 2023
Rickard Gardell, the founder of an Australian private equity company, has given two brand new state-of-the-art basketball hoops to the small school. Mr Gardell has a property in Glenorchy and has a passion for basketball. He was the former owner of the Sydney Kings in the NBL.
Former NBL player Benjamin Knight, who played over 300 games in the NBL was in Glenorchy to present the gear to the school. Knight said a school with only 40 children rarely had visits from professional athletes, so he was glad to be able to give back via the program and help to inspire the children.
Each pupil received a basketball, hat, and a special Glenorchy Basketball T-shirt.
