Cool event for Pascal and fans in Atlantic Canada.

Does he have any connection to (University of) New Brunswick that I don’t know about?

The all-star forward who played for the Toronto Raptors before being traded to the Indiana Pacers in 2024, grew up in Cameroon with a father who valued education above all else. To honour his father’s legacy, Siakam partnered with UNB’s McKenna Institute and the River Philip Foundation in 2023 to establish a $200,000 tech-focused scholarship through his PS43 Foundation. The PS43 Foundation is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to empowering underserved youth through STEAM education, financial literacy, life skills, and mentorship programs that prepare children for success in a rapidly evolving digital economy.

The scholarship was created for students from Siakam’s home country and has been a game-changer for Cedrick Tahmo, a fourth-year computer science student at UNB. It also allowed Erick Mbianda the chance to study chemical engineering and he begins his second year at UNB this fall.


Basically, he paid for a degree with $ and fame. 8-)

Think everyone is okay with honorary degrees if it means the rich are setting up 6-figure scholarship funds.
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

Yeah if it helps someone get an education, I don't really have a problem with it.
