The MBA is a 501(c)3 with the mission of reducing the daily number of both active-duty and Veteran suicides using sports, specifically basketball, as the platform. The MBA has been in operation for over seven years and now consists of over 1,000 active-duty and Veteran male and female players representing over 50 military installations and communities around the globe.
The Post Traumatic Stress that many active military and veterans suffer from past deployments is forever part of their service to our country. The last seven years, the MBA has become a lifeline to those who serve. It has become an important tool in helping to reduce the daily count of an estimated 22 deaths a day from suicide. Furthermore, it is also exciting to watch
our military athletes demonstrate Resilience in sports. It is also an amazing tool for Recruiting and Retention for the Armed Forces. Our message is amplified with our agreements in media and entertainment to air our events on national television further providing a voice to other non-profits and organizations aligned with our mission.
