On Wednesday, during the Colorado High School Basketball Podcast, the Ziggi’s Coffee Club Basketball Scholarship was unveiled. The scholarship is the brainchild of Ziggi’s Coffee owner Brandon Knudsen, and others have also contributed to the fund. “We are always looking for ways to give back to the community that has been so great to us. Basketball is a huge part of our personal life, so helping kids with this scholarship was an easy choice,” said Knudsen.
The scholarship is intended to ease some of the financial burden placed on families that would like to have their children participate in club basketball. The scholarship is open to boys and girls that will be playing with a non-profit club basketball organization this spring and summer. “We hope that this scholarship can help a few more kids get involved,” said Knudsen. He also sees this as an opprotunity for other businesses and companies to get involved in their communuties. “I also hope that we can inspire some other businesses to step up and help these kids and parents,” the Ziggi’s Coffee owners said.
