“…MBA created a platform where service members and veterans can come together to not only play basketball, but simultaneously work on their mental wellness and create a sense of family that is rarely created outside of the military. MBA’s mission of ‘Life through Basketball’ aligns with Paramount VetNet’s four pillars: Appreciation, Resiliency, Action, and Impact. What an amazing opportunity to highlight outstanding individuals who served our country and served on the Basketball court. We salute you! Congratulations,” says Betty Diaz, Dir. of Programs & Operations for Paramount Veterans Network.
