What Happened in Vegas!

“What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas?”  Not exactly.  What happened in Vegas was only an introduction between many basketball fans and Nothing But Nets . . .I have no doubt there is more to come!!

Recently back from Africa, the NBA all-star game provided me with my first real opportunity to share with players, fans, and sponsors about Nothing But Nets.  Although “Sin City” is not exactly the first place that comes to mind when you think about creating awareness for humanitarian efforts, it made me realize that regardless of the city or situation, people are compassionate.  I think my heart would have broken in two, if people showed disinterest or apathy when I was talking to them, luckily it was the complete opposite. 

I stopped by the “Nothing But Nets” booth, which was set up in the Jam Session (convention center with all the NBA activities).  People would come by to get a picture or an autograph, and it provided the perfect opportunity to share with them why these bed nets are so important.  I found that once people were given more information, they were supportive and generous in their giving.  Prior to this weekend, I didn’t know what to expect from our fans, I am encouraged as people continue to exceed my expectations!
