New Season, New Beginnings reflects the excitement and opportunity a new NBA season brings not only to basketball enthusiast, but also the communities in which we play. It means highlighting those who work hard to create new opportunities for Minnesota's youth: creating renewed spaces, energy and attitudes for learning and community development.

Reading and Learning Center: The Minnesota Timberwolves FastBreak Foundation will partner with Rebuilding Together to renovate a Twin Cities area learning center. This center will help young people and their families receive the support they need to begin to build better lives for themselves. Over 100 Timberwolves and Lynx staff members will volunteer their time as they paint, assemble furniture and remodel the learning area.

Court Refurbishments: The FastBreak Foundation will donate $20,000 for the renovation of 2 area basketball courts for the public to enjoy. The courts will get resurfaced and new basketball hoops will be installed.

$10,000 Grant Application Winners Selected: The FastBreak Foundation will be announcing their 2009-2010 Grant Applications winners. A winning organization will be selected for each month of the season and will receive a $10,000 grant for their programming.
