The BamBooksBrotherhood Foundation brings new energy and creativity to downtown Miami with a powerful initiative that blends sports, art, and community impact. The foundation announced plans to revisit the Chapman Partnership to revamp a basketball court that has special significance. Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade originally donated it. Wade is passing the baton to Bam Adebayo, a former Miami Heat star, to lead the charge in making a lasting impact.

The project aims to do more than just update the court; it seeks to inspire and engage the shelter’s residents, giving them a space for athletic growth and community building. This initiative is more than just about the players — it’s about you. The #InYourCourt contest is a chance for fans to be a part of history by designing the court themselves, bringing a personal touch to this iconic space.
