In 2018, the National Basketball Retired Players Association will go all-in in an effort to pursue our mission of becoming a leading voice in the basketball community. We have all the resources in place to execute on our long-range plan, and that is exactly what we will accomplish in this coming year. As President & CEO, I am pledging that this will be our biggest year to date, and I hope that you can all realize the opportunity that is in front of each of you. In 2017, we made three key areas our focus for the year. As a group, we chose to attack our mission of (1) Charity (2) Programming (3) Relationships. As I dwell on our accomplishments over the past 12 months and reflect on the year ahead, I am so thrilled to see how far we’ve come and the bright future we have yet to realize. Here is the progress we’ve made so far: • In 2017, the NBRPA distributed over $250K through our Dave DeBusschere Scholarship Fund, pushing the year-to-date total to $2 million.
