ABOUT ALL-STAR GOSPEL CELEBRATION

In 2019, ASGC captured the attention of the NBA Chaplains Association, and in 2020 Maurice “MO” Evans-former VP of NBPA-National Basketball Players Association joined as ASGC official CO-HOST. While their support and that of the NBA players have been instrumental, capital funds are vital in propelling ASGC to new heights in 2022! The ASGC team realizes it requires the support and engagement of businesses and communities to ensure ASGC success in every market, partnerships are formed to ensure NBA All-Star Weekend is never void of an inspirational presence. With ease, ASGC has historically sold out venues averaging 3,500 seats – from the beautiful Fox Theater in Atlanta to the Joy Theater in the French Quarters of New Orleans, to the historic Apollo Theater in New York, where she celebrated ASGC 10th anniversary. Each year we allow businesses the opportunity to participate in All-Star Gospel Celebration by sponsoring this highly anticipated event. As a Sponsor, you have the opportunity to CO-BRAND your Name, Company, Foundation with this awesome All-Star event that honors NBA Players, NBA Legends, NBA Coaches, NBA families, Sports Figures & Community Leaders!
