The NBA Summer League continues to give back to the Las Vegas community since its inception in 2004. Summer League Jr. NBA is an example of the community contributions over the years such as Hoops for St. Jude, Military Appreciation Night, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Parade, Adopt A School, Noche Latina, holiday food drives and more. The goal of Summer League Jr. NBA is to assist the youth throughout Southern Nevada and to provide them with healthy programming focused on leadership, sportsmanship, and accountability while instilling positive core values.
