As owners of Harv-Al Sportswear, Harvey Lipkin and and Al Rimer were staunch supporters and sponsors of all levels of amateur basketball throughout Manitoba, including the Manitoba Amateur Basketball Association. Harv-Al supported the birth of the Manitoba Coaches Association by funding its annual dinner for a number of years, and providing trophies for the Mike Spack and Carl Ridd Awards.
They also worked with high schools and helped junior and senior leagues, particularly with team travel. Harvey was directly involved by serving over the years as manager for some of the top junior and senior teams. They even organized a “Little Dribblers” program for young boys and girls.
