The Dallas Mavericks generated $1.8 million for the Mavs Foundation during their ninth annual Mavs Ball, a flagship fundraising occasion organized yearly by the Mavericks franchise. This event highlights the recipients of grants and the philanthropic endeavors undertaken by the Dallas Mavericks throughout the season.
In the span of 27 years, the Mavs Foundation has allocated over $10 million in grant funding to various nonprofit organizations dedicated to aiding women, children, and families in need. Additionally, the foundation has constructed 56 secure Learn & Play spaces across North Texas, comprising 31 basketball courts and 25 Reading & Learning Centers.
These facilities aim to promote healthy lifestyles, offer safe havens for children and residents, and enhance educational opportunities by providing access to technology for youth education programs, job-skill training for teenagers and adults, and other essential initiatives.
Some of the auction items featured at the event included:
