Last week, Zalgiris invited Ukrainian refugee kids from a local school and gave them a tour of the arena, showing all the secret corners of the building.

After the tour, the kids were greeted by Zalgiris players Marek Blazevic and Karolis Lukosiunas.

"We very rarely receive such guests, so it was really fun to talk to them and show a glimpse of our everyday life," Lukosiunas said. "I hope that the tour brightened their day."

The players not only showed the arena, its halls, gyms, and saunas but also told about the locker room traditions and rules.

Both Blazevic and Lukosiunas then gave interviews to the children and their school's newspaper, answering questions about Zalgiris' life, the best spots to visit, and their dreams while basketball.

Zalgiris organisation continues to encourage people to donate money to Ukraine through various means.
