12 years at TD Garden. Thousands raised for ABCD's youth programming. Hundreds of Boston youth given opportunities to explore career paths and learn valuable skills. That's the impact of Hoop Dreams. Thank you to our four amazing teams — 2024 champions No Books No Ball Basketball Program, You Got it Girl, Vertex Pharmaceuticals, and Still Got it Athlete — for leaving it all on the court to support ABCD's mission and to Governor Healey, Lieutenant Governor Driscoll, Celtics GM Brad Stevens, and legendary sportswriter Bob Ryan for lending their passion, knowledge, and time to the event. We can't wait to see you all next year 🏀 🔥

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! As we celebrate Hispanic culture and diversity, we also want to acknowledge the Hispanic community's impact on our organization. 30% of ABCD staff identify as Hispanic or Latino, as do 33% of people within the communities we serve. From culture, to language, to food, ABCD would not be ABCD with the Hispanic community. ¡Feliz mes de la herencia hispana! Mientras celebramos la cultura y la diversidad hispana, también queremos reconocer el impacto de la comunidad hispana en nuestra organización. 30 por ciento del personal de ABCD se identifican como hispano o latino, al igual que 33 por ciento de la gente dentro de las comunidades que servimos. Desde la cultura, al lenguaje, a la comida, ABCD no sería ABCD sin la comunidad hispana.
