Liquid Lyrics Supporting Big Bangs

Liquid Lyrics is a proud supporter of Big Bangs!


The ACT Special Olympics Basketball Team needs our help.

They’ve been running for a year now, with no federal or state funding, and only 1 sponsor who gave up $500 so the team could host a tournament here in Canberra.

They are coached by a former Rollers (Aust men’s wheelchair team) gold-medal winning player, who has been volunteering his time and his old uniforms just so these guys can play.

They’re not at an “elite” level, but they are competitive; in the last 2 tournaments they’ve played in, they’ve won both! That’s in spite of not having any new equipment, any media coverage or any major, or even minor for that matter, support from local sporting bodies. The team is made up of 18 to 30 yr olds, who have a range of physical and/or mental disabilities.

So here’s the plan. This Sunday, they’re hosting a team from the Coast at Woden Basketball Stadium. As BIG BANGS first charitable activity in Oz, I want to raise some cash for them. The baseline is $250 – I think that’s a reasonable target, seeing as how they only have $500 so far… My goal, however, is to raise $1500 so the entire team can have new uniforms.

If you want to help me out, let me know so I can send you all a small email you can forward or print out; spread the word and help collect for this cause. Of course I hope y’all can all be there on Sunday to cheer the guys on and present the team with whatever we raise.

Ask around your work, grab a buck or two (or however much people want to give) from your coworkers, people around you, whoever you can, and let’s see how much cash we can raise.

For those who don’t know, the BIG BANG BALLERS are a non-profit organization using the game of basketball to overcome social barriers and develop the confidence, skills and capabilities of youth. We’re currently operating in 3 countries, with 3 more on the way by July, and another 7 by the end of the year. Non-profit status is currently being granted by the Australian Government.
