Club Teens Surprised With Shopping Spree
|
Thanks to Cricket Wireless and Academy Sports + Outdoors for surprising 30 teens from three of our Clubs each with a $100 shopping spree to help them “stress less, smile more” and focus on what matters most – connecting with each other to create unmissable moments.
Cricket created the experience as part of their "Inspiring Smiles" focus where they're building healthy, human connections for happier youth and supporting young people and their families by fostering kindness, encouraging healthy mobile habits, and providing resources to help them overcome challenging times.
