You often hear about companies supporting their local community, but do you know how they are actually doing it?

Well, Arby’s Middle Village has been accomplishing this philanthropic feat by sponsoring the Heroes Youth Basketball League, a league for community kids, run every spring / summer since 1990.

Heroes is a platform where local teams, kids, families, and businesses connect in fun, competitive, family-like atmosphere. Game results & high scorers are published in the Queens Ledger Newspaper, weekly.

Because of Arby’s contributions, management of Heroes has been able to keep the price the same for the past 20 years. Families pay around $50 for their child to play on their team, an incredibly affordable price for a basketball league.

Last week, Heroes Basketball coaches converged at Arby’s on Metropolitan Ave. in Middle Village for the 28th annual Heroes Basketball Coaches Meeting. Tom Clarke, owner of Arby’s Middle Village, fed Heroes coaches as they learned new rules, handed in paperwork, and discussed their conflicts with Heroes management.
