Boys & Girls Clubs of North Louisiana will host its 8thannual Holiday Basketball Camp on June 29th at the LA Tech Intramural Center. All sponsorships may be designated for locations where we now have Boys & Girls Clubs in our north central region: Arcadia, Dubach, Farmerville, Jonesboro and Ruston.
A total of 360 campers from all over north LA have registered for this free basketball camp that includes not only meeting NBA Champion Justin Holiday but also receiving a camp shirt, lunch provided by The Springs Church, an autographed picture of themselves with Justin and of course an opportunity to hone their basketball skills. Justin shares his experience as a Club kid at the Boys & Girls Club of North Louisiana in Ruston, his life journey, his great love for family and his faith.
Justin Holiday resided in Ruston, Louisiana from 1995 – 1999. During that time, he and his brother Jrue attended the Boys & Girls Club. Justin and his family moved back to California in 1999 but remained close with many Ruston families. Justin even married former Rustonite and BGC kid Shekinah Seigmund!
After playing basketball for the University of Washington, Justin took his career overseas, playing for a professional team in Belgium. Holiday started his NBA career playing for the Philadelphia 76ers, later winning the 2015 NBA Championship with the Golden State Warriors.
From 2015 to 2021, Holiday played for many teams within the NBA, including the Atlanta Hawks, Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks, Memphis Grizzlies, Indiana Pacers, Sacramento Kings, and Dallas Mavericks. Justin Holiday is currently with the Denver Nuggets.
Justin received the Louisiana Area Council CARE (Children Are the Reason for Excellence) Award during the annual Boys & Girls Clubs of America Area Council Leadership Conference in 2020. He continues to provide outstanding support to our local Clubs in North Louisiana.
