Moses Malone, Alonzo Mourning , Artis Gilmore and many others took part in this charity golf outing to benefit The Chris Paul Foundation, The Mario Batali Foundation and Legends Care™. The event provided donors with a unique opportunity to interact and play golf with the Legends of the game.

Love & Basketball Gala - The NBRPA and Behind the Bench (NBA Wives Association) hosted an exclusive event for current NBA players, NBRPA members and their spouses as well as select sponsors and guests. This event was an ideal opportunity for sponsors and partners to connect with each group in an intimate setting. The event raised funds for both organizations.
