About: In October, the Timberwolves FastBreak Foundation celebrates New Seasons, New Beginnings presented by U.S. Bank. The month’s activities reflect the excitement and opportunity a new NBA season brings not only to basketball enthusiasts, but also to the communities in which we play. The Foundation works to highlight those who work hard to provide new opportunities for Minnesota’s youth by creating renewed spaces, energy and attitudes for learning and community development.
The FastBreak Foundation provides and supports hands-on programs that positively impact Minnesota youth. Through giving, education and basketball opportunities, the Foundation enables young people to make responsible decisions, contribute to their futures, and experience lifelong memories. In the past year, the Minnesota Timberwolves FastBreak Foundation and the Minnesota Lynx Foundation have combined to impact 2,146 organizations with $842,790 in in-kind donations, 20,000 Tickets for Kids donations, 3,107 volunteer hours, 53 community members honored on-court, and 15 grants distributed. The FastBreak Foundation is proud to be supported by the Roger and Nancy McCabe Foundation.
