Necco of Cincinnati and Florence teamed up this year to sponsor the 20th Annual Basketball Extravaganza held at Fifth Third Arena on the campus of the University of Cincinnati. This charity basketball game has become a tradition in the Greater Cincinnati area. Featuring ex or retired pro baseball and football all-stars, the Basketball Extravaganza is a fun way to bring the members of the Cincinnati community together for a worthwhile cause. This year, the event benefactor was Sojourner Recovery Services, which provides treatment programs and support for individuals struggling with chemical dependency.
As a sponsor of this year’s event, Necco received its own seating section – which we filled with over 500 Necco staff members, foster parents, youth and community supporters of our programs and services. Necco staff from Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia attended the event! In addition, we received some fantastic community recognition including an exhibit booth, advertisements, signs, and banners. Necco was the main sponsor of the $10,000 half court shot, and several Necco youth were selected to participate in the halftime shootout earning the chance to win autographed prizes. The players generously signed autographs for Necco kids and families, and provided a fun night of family entertainment for all!
