NBA Power Forward - 10-Year Anniversary

“Basketball became the entry point—but impact was the true outcome.”

Overview

A decade milestone activation blending sport, education, and health impact at scale. Marking 10 years of NBA Power Forward in Nigeria, ConnectPlusSport delivered a multi-day, multi-stakeholder festival that celebrated impact while scaling visibility.

The program combined competitive basketball, youth development, and public health initiatives into a unified platform. Key elements included a 42-team youth tournament, leadership summits, and large-scale basketball clinics led by NBA champion Festus Ezeli.

Crucially, the initiative extended beyond sport—integrating health interventions such as malaria testing and prevention, reinforcing the program’s long-standing commitment to community development.
