One Heart, One Basket at a time
Bokke Ballerz is a non-profit organization founded by Stephanie MacDonald, who is fervently dedicated to positively influencing the worlds of sports and education, with a particular focus on basketball in South Africa and beyond. Stephanie is a passionate advocate for empowering individuals through the transformative power of sports combined with education. She believes deeply in the potential of every individual to learn and grow. Through her objectives and journey, Stephanie has embarked on a mission to create opportunities that inspire, educate, and uplift children in their communities—opportunities that could change lives.
Stephanie has devoted over 14 years to the field of education and has always held a special place in her heart for sports. Whether it was representing Monaco in Rhythmic Gymnastics during the French Championship years ago or supporting her children in their sporting passions, she has witnessed firsthand the transformative power of sports in overcoming adversity—a force that ultimately saved her family.
The association is committed to promoting inclusivity, skill development, and community engagement, which are poised to make a significant impact. We are excited to witness the continued growth and success of this initiative and invite you to connect with us to learn more about our drive and passion. Together, we can shape a brighter future for basketball in South Africa and empower individuals to unlock their full potential.
