As the Fort Wayne NBA D-League team, we take development seriously. Not just developing players on the basketball court, but also in our community. We are passionately committed to acting as a catalyst in the city of Fort Wayne to promote and facilitate community growth, education and sustainability. We are willing and able to do anything and everything to be involved in our community. Through our corporate partnerships and outreach initiatives, we will be dedicated to leaving a lasting legacy of good citizenship and economical development in Fort Wayne.
We receive a large number of donation and appearance requests throughout the year, and we carefully review each submission to make sure that we can help as many people as possible. Requests will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis. Priority will be given to organizations that focus on children and promote literacy, physical fitness, or the sport of basketball. Although we are eager to help in every way possible, our availability is limited and we will not be unable to honor every request.
Please note: requests must be received by our staff at least four weeks prior to the event.
Organizations are limited to receive one donation and one appearance within each calendar year.
Fees will be determined once an appearance has been granted.
