DOING YOUR PART TO GIVE BACK
BEST Basketball is conscious of the ever-growing need for professional athletes to give back to the community. There are many ways an athlete can demonstrate his philanthropy and we can walk you through the legal and financial implications of each, helping you decide what works best for you and your brand.
Donations & Appearances
Whether your goal is to generate publicity for a great cause or just to contribute financially, we help you identify, negotiate & schedule charitable appearances and donations.
Starting Your Own Foundation
We provide guidance and expertise at every step, from acquiring start-up resources to managing business functions and marketing the foundation once it’s up and running.
Sports & Youth Camps
Starting your own sports camp is a great way to mentor and educate young athletes while also providing them with a fun and invaluable experience they’ll never forget.
