BUILDING BRIDGES THROUGH BASKETBALL
The Timberwolves and the FastBreak Foundation hosted 20 local youth and five officers from the Minneapolis Police Department to participate in a Building Bridges through Basketball event with players Karl-Anthony Towns, Jamal Crawford and Cole Aldrich. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey was also in attendance.
The group participated in a facilitated discussion that created a safe space for a candid conversation exploring perceptions and dynamics affecting law enforcement and youth from the communities they serve. The purpose was to encourage participants to share their perspectives, experiences and collectively brainstorm and spotlight programmatic solutions to build a stronger, safer Minneapolis.
