Community is an important part of the SagerStrong Foundation. We are proud to participate in and support programs and initiatives that benefit communities around the country and in our local hometown.

SagerStrong supports NBA Cares

The SagerStrong Foundation is proud to participate annually in the NBA Cares initiative through the National Basketball Association during All-Star Weekend.

SagerStrong Hometown Hero Award

The SagerStrong Foundation Hometown Hero program honors a pediatric leukemia patient annually that embodies everything the SagerStrong Foundation stands for:  perseverance, strength and, above all, courage.  The program was created in Craig Sager’s memory to inspire and “lift up” young patients in their fight to know they have so many others “fighting” in their corner with them.  Learn More here:
