Hibbett

This year, Hibbett and PUMA Group joined together and presented Children’s of Alabama, Social Services with a financial donation of $20,000 along with a combination of PUMA branded men’s, women’s and children’s shoes, shirts and shorts and 1,000 fidget toys for their patients. The contributions support essential Children’s of Alabama programs like the Care Closet, Sugar Plum Shop and Children's Hospital Intervention and Prevention Services. We are so grateful to have this incredible children's hospital in our own backyard here in Birmingham and thank you to PUMA Group for their continued partnership!

Last week and in partnership with adidas, we hosted Empower HER at our Fultondale location. The community team put together individual looks and customized gifts for the 16 girls from Girls Inc. and treated them to time in the glam chair ahead of their debut on the fashion show runway. To top the evening off, $7500 was contributed to our local Girls Inc. chapter to continue on the great impact they are making in our community. 

This week, in partnership with Nike, we unveiled Duncanville High School as our second ever First String recipient. Duncanville was selected to commemorate the launch of The Origin with the inaugural episode featuring Orlando Magic Point Guard, Anthony Black. Hibbett held a special viewing moment of the episode for the teams plus a personalized message from Anthony announcing the $50,000 donation to the boys and girls basketball program. The teams also walked away with a pair of the Lebron Witness 8 in team colors. Thank you to everyone who is helping bring First String to life and we look forward to the impact that it will have in our communities for years to come!

Happy Holidays from Hibbett's HR team to yours! 🎄🎊🥳

Last week, our community team loaded up the van with boxes and boxes of shoes to donate to Birmingham City Schools. The shoes will be given to any child in the school system that is in need and a it was a great way to give life and purpose to shoes only worn by a model for photo shoots. #Community

“Athletics opens the door for many Birmingham City Schools scholars to find success after high school,” said Dr. Terry Lamar, Chief of Staff for BCS. “We welcome Hibbett and First String’s investment in the basketball program at Wenonah High School and scholarship support for some of our athletes. This is a true example of what companies in our area can do to help ensure an even brighter future for our students.”

Last week, in partnership with Nike, Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin and Birmingham Promise, we announced our newest philanthropic initiative, First String.  First String is dedicated to empowering the next generation of student-athletes by providing a substantial financial contribution to high schools boys and girls basketball teams and awarding collegiate scholarship funding for a student from each team. Additionally, First String will provide students with career development opportunities within their corporate offices or stores. The Inaugural First String donation of $50,000 was made to the Wenonah High School boys and girls basketball program. Congratulations to the Wenonah Dragons and we got your back!

This past Friday, Hibbett partnered with Nike and Knight Eady to bring the Inaugural Bama in Boutwell to Birmingham! The Alabama Crimson Tide took on Wake Forest in the first ever exhibition game of its kind in the historic Boutwell Auditorium. Fans had the opportunity to shop for the JA2 in the pop-up store, photo booth experiences, chances to win gift cards and even the US debut of the Touch2See technology for seven students from the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind. Thank you to Nike for your partnership on this incredible event in the Magic City!
