The Florida Mako’s basketball team will be talking at local Gainesville elementary schools about Bullying and How to Prevent and Stop this Vicious Cycle. As a professional team, we understand the importance of teamwork and everyone working together for a greater purpose. We hope to influence children to not only chase their dreams of a sports career or another career but also inspire them to be the best people they can be and help the community.
