Speaking to Complex Canada, the Raptors big man revealed that he will also be working with PUMA to bring basketball programs to cities across the country:

“I remember the days when I was starting out playing and there wasn’t as much help as there is now. I just want to be an outlet…I feel like there’s a lot of talent back home and if I can just help them by giving them brand new shoes or the opportunity of having something new, that’s something that I want to help offer the kids.”

Boucher and the Raptors are playing this season in Tampa Bay, Florida. The Canadian government has banned the team from playing at home due to COVID concerns.
