Among them stood Dallas Mavericks CEO Cynt Marshall, along with new Mavs general manager and president of basketball operations, Nico Harrison. Joining him was his wife, Darlise, and oldest daughter, Nia, plus a plethora of other Mavericks employees, community partners and volunteers.
On the morning of September 11, 2021, exactly 20 years after the anniversary of 9/11, the Mavericks family came together to reflect, remember and help transform the anniversary into a day of worldwide service and unity.
All across the country, similar projects were also taking place simultaneously in recognition of the National Day of Service and Remembrance — also known as Patriot Day in America.
