Season of Giving

As part of the “Season of Giving,” Nets players once again reached out to the community and fed those in need at the annual Thanksgiving event. Other “Season of Giving” activities included the annual Sharp Electronics Holiday Party for underprivileged children, Toys for Tots and a holiday shopping spree for the less fortunate.

Rock and Wrap it Up

After each home game, the Nets and Rock and Wrap It Up collect all the unused prepared but not served food and donate it to shelters in the metropolitan area.

Hometown Hero

The Nets Hometown Hero award sponsored by Commerce Bank is a season-long program that recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions and performed selfless acts in their communities. Individuals are honored in an on-court ceremony during a time-out at a home game.

Black History Month

Nets Basketball and Amtrak will team up once again this season to celebrate Black History Month throughout February. “Black History Month presented by Amtrak” will involve special interactive features on the Nets website, appearances by Nets players, in arena and game telecast vignettes as well as an art contest for high school students.

Athlete Assist Program

Once again this season, Nets players are participating in the Nets Athlete Assist Program. The players have all donated a block of tickets to every Nets home game that are available to youth groups and non-profit organizations in the metropolitan area. Through the generosity of these players, youth groups and charities are able to attend games and experience Nets Basketball. All of the groups are recognized during the game and select groups this season will have the opportunity to participate in some of the in-game entertainment activities. The following players are proud supporters of the Nets Athlete Assist Program:

Vince Carter, Devin Harris, Josh Boone, Sean Williams, Eduardo Najera, Stromile Swift, Jarvis Hayes, Trenton Hassell, Keyon Dooling, Yi Jianlian, Brook Lopez and Ryan Anderson
