The chemistry between Zendaya and Tom Holland isn’t just reserved for the silver screen. This dynamic Hollywood couple once again proved their commitment to making a positive impact on their community.
The two united with Project Backboard in Oakland. Their aim was to transform public basketball courts into vibrant spaces that uplift neighborhoods. The young duo’s involvement exemplifies their dedication to bringing real change to the places that have shaped them.
Their efforts extended to West Oakland Middle School, where they met students and created unforgettable memories. The couple’s return to Zendaya’s hometown was marked by another act of generosity—a sponsored basketball game at Lowell Park. As they graced the newly redone court, Zendaya’s jersey proudly displayed her name.
Whereas Tom playfully sported a jersey that read “Zendaya All-Stars.” This lighthearted gesture showcased their affection towards each other. This charity game could be a way to promote her new film ‘Challengers’, however, the fans were amused by this gesture.
