Hornets Partner with First Horizon Bank for Carolinas Youth Initiative
The partnership will distribute 10,000 basketballs through more than 200 Boys & Girls Clubs and support youth mentorship and wellness programs.
- On Thursday, July 23, the Charlotte Hornets and First Horizon Bank launched Bee-Ball For All at Northridge Middle School, kicking off a two-state effort to distribute 10,000 basketballs to youth across North and South Carolina.
- This initiative anchors the second annual Impacting the Carolinas campaign, designed in 2025 to strengthen Hornets Sports & Entertainment's regional presence while reinforcing commitment to being the Team of the Carolinas.
- Hornets Legend Muggsy Bogues coached students during the clinic, while First Horizon Bank Executive Vice President Laura Bunn emphasized that "sports also build teamwork, discipline and skills youth will carry through their lives."
- Reaching more than 200 Boys & Girls Clubs across the two states, the program creates opportunities for mentorship, literacy, and wellness, as Hornets Sports & Entertainment Senior Vice President of Community Impact Betsy Mack said partnerships enable "greater impact than we ever could alone."
- As Charlotte is the largest metropolitan area without a freestanding Boys & Girls Club, President and CEO Todd McFarlane sees significant opportunity in the partnership with First Horizon, which manages $84.4 billion in assets.
