Nothing But Knit

To promote awareness, engagement and participation in anticipation of the 2021 NBA All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis throughout our community, we are asking for fans to help us create 5,000 Nothing But Knit beanies to be worn by volunteers and frontline hospitality employees during the 2021 NBA All-Star Weekend and given as gifts to All-Star players, coaches and other NBA VIPs.

Current Beanie Count

So far, we have received 20 knit beanies.
