Beyond the Court 2027
AOA Beyond the Court is our annual Day of Service. It brings the AOA Foundation team, visiting delegates, volunteers and supporters together to give back to the community beyond basketball.
Our impact has always reached further than the game: into education, community development and meaningful service for the families of Sango Ota.
The 2027 project and schedule will be shared once we've confirmed the community's needs with our local partners.
