The Hoop Bus, a well-established organization that uses basketball to inspire and unite communities, partnered with The Grind League to help bring the Oakwood Park basketball court painting to life in Lorain, OH. Their support—connecting the team with lead artist Zermillion, providing resources, and energizing the project—was essential to its success. The day also included a city tour led by local leaders like DJ D*Grind, showcasing key parks and sharing Lorain’s vision for the future. A game with Mayor Jack Bradley in front of City Hall capped off a historic day that demonstrated the power of collaboration and community-driven change.
