On November 10, Damian Lillard, adidas, and Kohl's came together to give 20 youth from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee an unforgettable experience at a Milwaukee Bucks game. As part of their ongoing partnership, this event marked the second year of Lillard’s initiative to support and inspire local youth through the game of basketball and the power of mentorship.
The lucky attendees enjoyed a one-of-a-kind gameday experience, including suite tickets, a delicious dinner, and gift bags filled with exclusive goodies. Each child received a pair of the adidas Lillard Dame Certifieds, adidas gear, and Kohl’s gift cards to further enhance their experience. The Milwaukee Academy of Science boys basketball team, an adidas Basketball partner school, also participated in the celebration and was gifted the highly anticipated Dame 9 sneakers.
Damian Lillard’s “Always Dame Time” mentality was on full display both on and off the court. The NBA star’s presence continues to inspire the next generation, showing them the importance of perseverance and passion, whether in basketball or life. By creating an atmosphere of positivity and motivation, Lillard has shown that his influence extends far beyond the game.
This annual event highlights Lillard’s commitment to uplifting youth and making a lasting impact on their lives. It’s a celebration of community, basketball, and the opportunities that come with having the right mindset—proving once again that Damian Lillard’s reach goes far beyond the court.
