Investing In Community: A Celebration of Renewal and Teamwork
For the second year in a row, Fenimore proudly partnered with Siena College Men’s and Women’s Basketball teams to host the Court Rehab Dedication and Ice Cream Social. This year’s event took place at the newly renovated George Street basketball court in Green Island, New York—a space that now stands as a testament to the power of community and the impact of teamwork.
The George Court, nestled under a highway bridge, had seen better days. Over time, it had been neglected due to necessary work on the bridge above, leaving the court in disrepair. But Green Island’s spirit never waned, and when the community voted for this court’s renovation during last season’s Siena basketball games, they chose to invest in a better future for their children and neighbors.
On July 29, the teams, local fans, and community gathered to celebrate the transformation of this vital community space. “Think about how many different kids this court can impact,” said Gerry McNamara, Head Coach of Siena Men’s Basketball. “They get a chance to come here on this incredibly refurbished court to have a safe place in a community environment.”
The dedication event wasn’t just about the court; it was about coming together to create something that will have a lasting, positive impact. We believe Fenimore’s commitment to community and teamwork was evident throughout the day, reflecting our core belief that by working together, we can build spaces where everyone can thrive.
The revitalized George Court is now more than just a place to play—it’s a symbol of what can be achieved when we all invest in our community.
