Appearance Requests
The Atlanta Hawks organization is committed to being involved in the community and working with organizations that make a positive impact on children in the Atlanta area. To show their community support beyond the basketball court, the Atlanta Hawks Players, Coaches, Mascots and Cheerleaders value the opportunity to get involved in charitable events throughout Atlanta.  Due to the large number of requests the team receives on a daily basis, the Hawks are only able to accept requests from charitable, nonprofit organizations that directly service clients. The Hawks carefully evaluate each request consistent with our policies and procedures to determine availability within the framework of our schedule. Requests are reviewed and confirmation is provided for appearances we are able to fulfill.

The following guidelines should be followed when submitting an appearance request:

  • The Hawks are only able to accept requests from charitable, nonprofit organizations that are able to provide proof of 501(c)3 status upon request.
  • All requests must be submitted through the online form below with the appropriate fields completed. The Hawks do not accept form letters, faxes, E-mails or requests through the mail.
  • Due to the limited number of appearance opportunities available and the tremendous volume of requests received, it is not possible to fulfill each and every request. To assist us in scheduling appearances, we ask you to submit appearance requests no later than six weeks prior to the event.
  • The Hawks cannot provide regret notices for appearances we cannot attend and event coordinators should only consider their request to be scheduled upon receiving confirmation from the Hawks organization. The Hawks may not be able to confirm participation until one week prior to the event and thus organizations should not base the planning of their event around the Hawks’ participation.
  • If you are also requesting a donation item for your event, it will need to be submitted separately for proper handling. See the Donation page to request an item.

* Please note we are no longer accepting faxed or written requests. This online donation request system has been implemented to decrease our carbon footprint and to help protect our environment. We appreciate your support with all new procedures and policies. Thank you.
