Portland Trail Blazers
The Portland Trail Blazers believe that life if more than a game, more than the numbers on a scoreboard. We will give our time, talent and resources to help these children and their families live, learn and play.
TEAM PROGRAMS
Executed entirely through volunteer efforts of Trail Blazers staff, players, coaches, community partners, local media members and corporate partners, Harvest Dinner is available exclusively to clients of local organizations and agencies that serve homeless and critically low-income individuals and families.
The state of Oregon has thousands of active military members who ‘Make it Better’ for our country. The Portland Trail Blazers did what they could to ‘Make it Better’ for more than 100 people with a family member serving our country.
Each year during the month of March, the Portland Trail Blazers celebrate Reading Month in support of the NBA’s Read to Achieve program. As an incentive for reaching literacy goals, schools and students are selected through a drawing to win school assemblies and tickets to a game.
