On Tuesday night, second-year Houston Rockets guard Armoni Brooks hosted a group of children from Pathways Youth & Family Services for a private holiday gathering at Shoot 360, a technology-based basketball training center in northwest Houston.
Brooks took part in different basketball skill challenges with the kids and presented them with a gift bag along with a gift card, courtesy of Kroger. Video of the event is available below. The Rockets also offered the children and their families the opportunity to attend a future game.
Pathways Youth and Family Services provides foster care and adoption services to more than 10,000 children across the state of Texas and has permanently placed 4,000 more with a forever family.
Meanwhile, on Thursday, veteran guard Eric Gordon partnered with The Goldie Legacy to host a holiday shopping event at Target for 20 children from the South Park and Sunnyside areas. Gordon spent time with the children while helping them shop throughout the store.
“This is something I appreciate and enjoy,” Gordon said.
After Friday, eight of the team’s next nine games are on the road. Thus, this week offered the best scheduling opportunity prior to the holidays.
