Raptors Superfan Nav Bhatia donates $150K to build Mississauga basketball courts
Toronto Raptors Superfan Nav Bhatia has donated $150,000 to the City of Mississauga to fund four new basketball courts for the city.
The new courts will be built in Malton, a neighbourhood located in Mississauga’s northeast end, according to a tweet shared by Bhatia.
“Thank you to all those that bought items from the website and the companies that [I’ve] made appearances for or endorsements with,” he wrote. Bhatia says that he donates all his shares of merch sold on his website, appearance fees, and endorsements.
“All my fees I donated to the foundation and now it’s time to give back.”
