Atlanta Hawks’ Post

As we approach National Intern Day on July 25th, we would like to recognize this year’s summer interns! Please join us in celebrating our 2024 Atlanta Hawks and State Farm Arena interns from our HBCU Pathways Program presented by Georgia Power Company and the NBA HBCU Fellowship Program. This summer’s class has joined various departments within our organization and is receiving a hands-on, immersive experience that fuels their development and career interests.   Today’s intern spotlights from the HBCU Pathways Program presented by Georgia Power are Olivia Porter and Bryce White. This summer, Olivia is interning with our Global Partnerships team and Bryce is interning with our Retail team.   We are sending you a warm Hawks welcome, Olivia and Bryce!

Happy Fourth of July to our Hawks fam! 🇺🇸

On April 18th, together with State Farm, we unveiled the completely refurbished Dominique Wilkins Court at the Good Neighbor Gym at the Andrew and Walter Young Family YMCA in Southwest Atlanta. It will mark an extra special occasion as the Atlanta Hawks and State Farm’s 10th Good Neighbor Club reveal and court makeover. The Andrew and Walter Young Family YMCA has been an important figure in Atlanta as a home for local high school kids, a center for voting, and a home for community impact. This unveiling celebrated the YMCA’s role in greater Atlanta and the story of these men who helped shape this community.

As part of our commitment to our community, we partnered with The HEINEKEN Company to clean up Sam T. Roberts Memorial Park last Friday. Hawks, State Farm Arena and Heineken team members volunteered their time to help achieve a cleaner and more environmentally conscious Atlanta community.   Shout out to Grindhouse Killer Burgers for providing lunch for the volunteers!

We’re excited to partner with Georgia Natural Gas to help support children in the community with United Way of Greater Atlanta. We spoke to Georgia Natural Gas employees on the importance of teamwork, took photos and raffled off fun giveaways. We’re proud to be able to impact our community off the court and support other companies who are doing so as well 🙌 - with Georgia Natural Gas.
