During all February home games, the Atlanta Hawks will be honoring influential African-Americans who have made significant contributions to a variety of industries as part of this year’s celebration of Black History Month. Beginning February 2, during Atlanta's game against the Memphis Grizzlies, the Hawks will honor individuals who are each uniquely different in their contributions and unanimously impactful.
During the Hawks game on February 6 vs. Phoenix Sun’s, the Hawks will recognize Monique Rivarde, creator of BFAM. Three weeks after losing her 18 year-old son, Bobby Tilman, at the hands of random violence, Rivarde created BFAM to nurture the spirits of youth and promote peace, love, respect and self-worth. Under Rivarde’s leadership, BFAM helps educate youth and adults about the effects of teen violence and bullying to help reduce violence among young people and promotes the Bobby Tillman Pact for Non-Violence.
