Mark Hebert of Arizona is the winner of our random drawing of viewers from our recent CSL event. He'll be receiving an autographed basketball from the 2017 NCAA Champion North Carolina Tar Heels. Congratulations Mark, and thanks for being a part of our CSL viewing audience.

Our next Courtside Live event is scheduled for Tuesday, May 30, from 9:00 - 10:00 pm ET, just prior to the start of the NBA Championship series. It will again be on Facebook Live via BlueJeans Primetime with moderator Adrian Branch, ESPN. We will announce the players one week prior to the event.

During the past two events on Facebook Live, we have given several youth the opportunity to appear live on camera to ask the players a couple of questions. The mother of one of the young fans commented in an email:

"I truly appreciate the opportunity afforded to my son last night! This experience and the banter between the pros was very timely and encouraging for him."

If you have a young fan who would like to appear live on this next CSL event to ask a couple of questions of the pros, please email us at info@bciedge.org

 "As players, it's really important to make fan interaction count in a meaningful way."                                                        --Mike Wilks, Scout for OKC Thunder

Through BCI Leads, our community outreach initiative, we provide opportunities for pro basketball players to interact with fans and kids through hands-on and online events.

Fans like Mark remind us why this sport of basketball is the perfect focus for our mission to "influence the influencers." Each pro player sends a message to young players and fans with the life choices he makes. Does he "make it count" spiritually? We focus on encouraging pro players - real heroes who care about the fans and kids on and off the court. 

When you support BCI, you're helping to influence an entire industry, from the pros to the youth. Through our camps, clinics, and CSL, BCI challenges the pros to share and influence, grow in their faith, walk alongside their peers and share their life experiences with fans and kids. 

Please consider a donation toward our BCI Leads initiatives here.

After the final game, when there's no one left to play, we are left to focus on something bigger; what's inside the men we're all rooting for.

Looking up.
