Coors Light to Help Refurbish Community Basketball Courts

CHICAGO, IL — Coors Light and television basketball analyst Kenny Smith have teamed up to encourage basketball fans to help refresh their community basketball courts. Now through April 1, Coors Light will donate one dollar per tweet, up to $75,000, to refurbish community basketball courts when legal-drinking-age fans use the hashtags #FullCourtRefresh and #over21*.

“Coors Light Full Court Refresh is a great opportunity for basketball fans to help restore an important resource in our communities across the country,” says Smith. “Not only have these basketball courts produced countless star athletes, they continue to provide a place for ball players to hone their skills and connect with others in their community.”

With the help of fans, Coors Light will donate up to $75,000 to the National Urban League, to makeover community basketball courts in Charlotte, Philadelphia and New York City. Each city will host an event where Smith will be available for interviews and photo opportunities on the following dates:

  • Charlotte on April 2
  • Philadelphia on April 8
  • New York City on April 9
