Thank You for an Incredible Inaugural Court of Champions™!

The Inaugural Court of Champions™ Bracket Breakfast took place on March 16, 2026, bringing together community leaders, supporters, and basketball fans for a high-energy morning of connection and impact.

From breakfast and networking to an engaging panel discussion with local sports experts, the event truly lived up to its name as a kickoff to RVA’s basketball tournament season. More importantly, Court of Champions™ highlighted the powerful connection between competition on the court and advocacy in the courtroom. Because while some courts are for basketball, others change lives.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who made this event possible and look forward to building on this momentum in the years ahead.

SAVE THE DATE: Court of Champions™ returns on March 15, 2027.
