- On Monday, Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. announced that a $1 million auction for two Celebrity Row seats at Game 3 of the NBA Finals benefited the Garden of Dreams Foundation.
- Law firm Gibson Dunn and private-equity firm Veritas Capital split the winning bid, with James Dolan, Executive Chairman and CEO, MSG Sports, calling the donation an "invaluable resource" for youth support.
- The Garden of Dreams Foundation, which works with the MSG Family of Companies to assist children facing extreme challenges, received its largest single donation in history through this fundraiser.
