 The Three Point Foundation, a proud partner of the Boston Celtics Shamrock Foundation, teamed up with Learning Fresh and the Boston Celtics to give Boston public school boys a March Madness tournament of their own. Celtics forward Jared Solinger and former Celtic Dana Barrows came to help teach these kids the importance of math. It's an educational, athletic type thing. I think it's always fun to have kids be able to do math equations, but at the same time, add little athletics things into it. The game, each team answers math questions and if correct, Solinger or Barrows shoots the ball from the square on the court that indicates the answer. The message was even simple, work before play, but work can be fun too. So it's something which they want to do to improve their academic skills and this is a way for us to say to them, well we can have some fun while we're doing that. The event in particular is really important because it's teaching math skills which is so important to young boys and young girls too in this age group and so the kids get to do these math problems but they get to do it in a fun environment with a basketball game so it's a win-win situation for them. Team Barrows ultimately won but everyone was really a winner as they exercised their body and their brains. Hundreds of students came out to learn from the Three Point Foundation and the Boston Celtics where they learned to put their academics in front of their athletics.
