Red Claws recognize Coaching Boys Into Men
On Jan. 5, the Maine Red Claws organization will recognize South Portland High School, North Yarmouth Academy and A.R. Gould High School coaches and athletes participating in the Coaching Boys Into Men program. By doing so, they are sending the strong message that violence against women is never acceptable. Coaching Boys Into Men is a program designed to inspire young athletes to call out the best in themselves by acting nonviolenctly with integrity and respect. The Red Claws have provided more than 200 discounted tickets for CBIM athletes, coaches, families and friends. On game day, all participants are invited to join players court-side during the pre-game warm-up and shoot-around. There will be a public service announcement broadcast, CBIM information and a generous giveaway to the first 100 ticket holders at the game.
