Minneapolis-St. Paul – The Minnesota Timberwolves announced a new community initiative that will award a $5,000 donation at each of their 41 home games during the 2017-18 season.
This initiative will directly distribute more than $200,000 in cash donations this season. These donations will augment all the other programs, in-kind contributions, tickets and volunteer hours that the Timberwolves contribute to the community each year. The focus of the gifts will be to recognize people or groups that work to make our community a great place to work, live and play.
“When we speak of a ‘New Era’ of Timberwolves basketball, that also applies to a renewed commitment to our community,” said Timberwolves and Lynx CEO Ethan Casson.
