**About the program:**

7Bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys has teamed up with the Panevezys Social Services Center for a third straight season to run its One Team program, this year at the Bridges of Kindness day-care center. This center supports kids and their families by fostering essential life skills, preparing them for school, organizing meals and activities, and offering individualized support such as psychological services and speech therapy tailored to each child’s needs.

Over the next eight weeks, the One Team program will bring together 20 young participants, aged 8 to 16, for an enriching experience that combines basketball with life skills. Through teamwork, communication exercises, and motivational activities, they’ll gain self-awareness, build confidence, and hopefully spark a love for sports.

Lietkabelis player Justin Briggs joins as the club’s One Team Ambassador, bringing his expertise and enthusiasm to make a lasting impact on this inspiring initiative.
