Realize The Dream
Realize the Dream is a national movement inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision of the Beloved Community – a society rooted in justice, equality, and love for all. The aim is to unite Americans across divides through 100 million hours of service by 2029, the 100th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday. The goal is to foster a culture of connection, empathy, and collective action. The NBA is a proud partner of this initiative. We are asking fans, employees, teams and players to help us collectively reach this goal by volunteering through service opportunities available here.
