Orlando Magic guard Anthony Black and his younger brother, Beckham, joined their mother, Jennifer, to bring their first-ever “Pins for a Purpose" community event to their hometown of Dallas.

Held at Bowl & Barrel, the event brought together local families, children and supporters for a day of bowling and fun centered around making a positive impact in the community. Jennifer helped spearhead the initiative alongside her sons, as Anthony continues to build the impact of their AB Cares foundation beyond basketball and Beckham emerges as the country's top high school basketball prospect.

More than just a bowling event, “Pins for a Purpose” marked the beginning of a larger commitment from the Black family to use their platforms to connect people, resources and opportunities with communities in need across their hometown.

For the first time as an NBA player, Spencer Jones returned to Bishop Miege High School for his first-ever community initiative in his hometown of Kansas City. He revisited the halls where his journey began and reconnected with the people and community that helped shape him.

Led through the day by his former coach Rick Zych, Spencer addressed the entire student body of nearly 700, sharing his perspective on AI, tech and the future of education, and was interviewed by the school’s journalism program. The Denver Nuggets forward was also surprised by former teammates, joined them for a basketball shootout and capped off the day by leading the school fight song ahead of the first football game of the season.

From Bishop Miege to the NBA—and now back to inspire the next generation.
