🏀❤️ More than a basketball clinic. More than a festival.

This past weekend we had the privilege of being part of the 5th Festival Manuela Vanegas, joining hundreds of incredible girls for a day filled with basketball, learning, smiles, and unforgettable memories.

Thank you to Manuela Vanegas and .co for trusting us once again to help lead the basketball programming. Your commitment to creating opportunities for young girls through sport continues to inspire all of us.

A huge thank you to the , our amazing Los Gringos Paisas volunteers, every parent who supported from the sidelines, and everyone who gave their time and energy to make this day possible.

Most importantly, thank you to every girl who stepped onto the court with confidence, curiosity, and a smile. We hope you left believing in yourselves just a little bit more.

This is why we do what we do.

Sport has the power to build confidence, create community, and change lives.

See you next year. 💙🏀

Basketball is bringing people together from all over the world. 🌎🏀

This week we had the opportunity to compete alongside some incredible teams, coaches, and organizers. Grateful for the experience, the competition, and everyone who made this tournament possible.

Moments like these remind us what Los Gringos Paisas is all about—building community through basketball, creating opportunities to compete, and bringing people together on and off the court.

Thank you to every player who represented the team this week. More runs, more tournaments, and more memories to come. 🇨🇴💙
