CHICAGO, March 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Buckets Over Bullying is a non-profit initiative that works to stop cyberbullying of children and teens through awareness, advocacy, and legal support. To further this mission, the organization has joined forces with trick shot sensation and social media influencer Tristan Jass (T Jass). Together, they’re launching T Jass’s Buckets Over Bullying Trick Shot Challenge.
In a video posted to social media, T Jass takes to the basketball court to make an impressive two-basket, two-ball trick shot. Next, he challenges everyone to match or beat his shot. To join the challenge, post your best shot on Instagram. Follow @bucketsoverbullying and tag the account with #bucketsoverbullying before April 20, 2023. By participating, you earn a chance to win a once-in-a-lifetime basketball prize package.
The random winner’s package will contain four floor seats to an NBA G League Ignite game in Las Vegas (@gleagueignite). The winner will also receive VIP passes to interact with the team and T Jass (@tristianj22). Additionally, the package includes a two-night stay at Resorts World Las Vegas (@resortsworldlv). Resorts World Las Vegas will provide the stay. Finally, the winner will receive a 1-year membership to Life Time (@lifetime.life), a nationwide athletic and wellness club.
“Get off the sidelines and take your best shot,” said T Jass, a founding board member of Buckets Over Bullying. “We’ve already got some heavy hitters accepting the challenge, including some major basketball legends. And we’re just getting started! Take the challenge! With your help Buckets Over Bullying can help educate kids and parents and put a stop to cyberbullying.”
Contest rules:
- Record and post trick shot video to Instagram
- Follow and tag @bucketsoverbullying, #bucketsoverbullying

Like other popular social media fundraising challenges, those who don’t complete the challenge within 24 hours are encouraged to donate $10 or more to the Buckets Over Bullying GoFundMe campaign. More importantly, the donations will support youth digital safety education efforts in schools. You can also donate even if you choose not to complete the challenge.
On April 20, 2023, Buckets Over Bullying will choose one lucky winner of the NBA G League Basketball prize experience in Las Vegas. Afterward, the organization will announce the winner on the Buckets Over Bullying Instagram page (@bucketsoverbullying).
“Taking and posting your best basketball trick shot is a much better way to use your time and social media skills than spreading hate by cyberbullying,” said Paul Urdan, a founding board member of Buckets Over Bullying who joined T Jass in making the video challenge. “The NBA G League Ignite, Resorts World Las Vegas and Hilton and Life Time are all stepping up to do their part. Now let’s see what’s out there to top T Jass. We can’t wait to see what skills and creativity are out there.”

About Buckets Over Bullying:
Buckets Over Bullying is a non-profit initiative of The Bronstein Family Foundation whose mission is to eliminate cyberbullying of children and teens. The sports-centric initiative is a call to action following the untimely death of Nate Bronstein, a 15-year-old Chicago student tragically lost to suicide on January 13, 2022. At the time, classmates and teammates relentlessly cyberbullied Nate through text messages and Snapchat at the Latin School of Chicago. They also told him to “Go kill yourself!” As a result, Buckets Over Bullying seeks to prevent what happened to 15-year-old Nate and countless others through education, lawmaking, and legal action. The organization also aims to encourage upstanding digital citizenship, and advocate for the accountability of cyberbullies and those who enable them. Visit www.bucketsoverbullying.org
