AU Pro Basketball Celebrates Causes Week
Complete List of Athlete-Selected Causes
Athletes Unlimited Pro Basketball is celebrating Causes Week, spotlighting the organizations that matter most to its athletes. Throughout the season, players compete not only for leaderboard points and weekly wins, but also for the opportunity to direct meaningful support toward the communities and causes they care about.
At the end of each season, Athletes Unlimited, powered by Give Lively and the Give Lively Foundation, makes a grant equal to 100% of the athlete’s end-of-season win bonus to the non-profit of the athlete’s choice. Causes Week highlights that impact, giving fans a closer look at the missions players are championing both on and off the court.
