In honour of all these men who abide by the military to safeguard us, it is our duty to give back to them however we can. That is why we at LB Finance decided to sponsor this event, giving the team what they needed, along with cheer and glamour to motivate them to continue to fight the good fight and stand by what they are passionate about - which is basketball,”
