On April 2, 8, even as the Boston Celtics battle through their first round playoffs against the Philadelphia 76ers, they're keeping community.

First by renovating a gym at the Boys and Girls Club of Metro West in Mallboro, Massachusetts.

The project teamed up Celtic's legend, Leon Powell, and mascot Lucky the Levercon, with 60 kids from the club and Boston's scientific employees for the Fit for a Cause initiative, which ran from January through March to Boost Fitness and Spark Real Change.

Employees got active while helping out, and the club won the chance to upgrade their gym and strengthen education programs, turning a simple space into a hub for young athletes.

Boston's scientific senior vice president of Corporate Affairs highlighted how this 10-year partnership with the Celtics brings competitive energy and lasting community impact every time.

With playoffs heating up, it's a reminder that these wins off the court build stronger neighborhoods, keeping the momentum going strong.
