Buzz s Bunch is a way to bring together children with disabilities and help them to fall in love with the game of basketball. Since it s creation, the group has evolved into so much more. Buzz s Bunch members create some unforgettable relationships and memories. Most of all, every player, coach, or staff member feels lucky to learn from these members and be touched by them. Being a Buzz s Bunch member includes an invitation to a camp over the summer, which includes spending time with the team and staff, lunch and a free t-shirt. Additionally, there is a Buzz s Bunch calendar at the beginning of the year and another event over the winter. The team tries to keep in touch with members throughout the year and the organization changes with time as new opportunities exist.
