It was a packed evening on both floors of The Ballroom Bowl as the Toronto Raptors coaches, players, media got together with fans on a Sunday night to bowl and play some ping pong to support the MLSE Team Up Foundation’s basketball court revitalization at the Scarborough YMCA. The MLSE Team Up Foundation has invested $160,000 towards the removal and replacement of competition class flooring, installation of backboards, nets and rims as well as new sports lines.

It was a whirlwind of activities to do for the evening and it was a great value for what Raptors fans got in return for their ticket price.  Eats came in the form of passed hors d’oeurves and buffet style with various food stations, open bar and not to mention the opportunities to mingle and take pictures with the Raptors, sports media and, of course, the Dance Pak.  Bowling lanes, ping pong and pool were all open.  It looks like all the Raptors were there except for Kyle Lowry due to back spasm that had already limited him to the Saturday’s game.  And DeMar DeRozen didn’t attend due to flu-like symptoms.

Thanks to the Raptors and the Team Up Foundation for sharing our pictures on their Facebook page!  Good luck, Raptors!
