FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 7 July 2020 – Indianapolis , IN
The American Basketball Association (ABA) and the Women’s American Basketball Association (WABA) today announced an exciting new partnership with the Beautiful Lives Project (BLP). “This Partnership just makes sense”, ABA Cofounder and Chairman, Joe Newman, stated. “The ABA is the largest and most diverse professional sports league in the world. As such, we are dedicated to giving back in the communities where we live, work and play.”
The Beautiful Lives Project mission is to provide opportunities for people with disabilities to actively participate in sports and other life enriching activities that might not previously have been available to them. Executive Director Charlie Brignac, added, “our new Partnership with the ABA and the WABA will allow us to rapidly expand our service area as we join forces with over 200 professional basketball teams across the country. We also plan to benefit from the ABA’s experience in working with Veterans”.
