Sixers and Virtua team up to offer wellness programs in South Jersey

The Philadelphia 76ers and Virtua are teaming up to offer wellness programs in South Jersey.

This summer, the partnership will launch the Sixers’ first-ever Camden Youth Basketball Clinic, an annual three-day clinic for Camden children. The basketball clinic will include programming centered physical fitness, nutrition, and overall wellness.

The two organizations will also develop the Sixers Academy of Southern New Jersey, an education program focused on healthy eating habits, fitness and reading. It will be offered to six South Jersey elementary and middle schools each year of the partnership.
