Pembroke Youth Basketball reaching out to Other Pembroke’s PYB Shirt Drive
In these difficult economic times many youth sports and other nonprofit organizations are struggling to make ends meet. Pembroke Youth Basketballs Tim Riley (Director for the Girls grades 5 and 6 in town division) decided to reach out to other communities that share the same municipal name as our very own Pembroke. As a result, Tim is spearheading an extras shirt drive.
There are hundreds of families in Pembroke who every season gets for one or multiple children a crisp new Pembroke Youth Basketball reversible shirt. After they are worn in the heat of competition these shirt are usually retired to the bottom of a drawer of the back of a closet.

Additionally, you can bring your extra shirts to your child’s basketball game and give them to your teams coach and we will arrange pickup. Please put the shirts in a bag labeled “PYB Shirt Drive”.
