Monthly Thunder home game experiences give kids an inside view of big dreams and a postgame moment with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The SGA Foundation today announced Home Court Heroes, a new program founded by NBA champion Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The idea is simple and powerful: when a kid sees what's possible up close, a dream that once felt far away starts to feel within reach. Throughout the season, the program will host monthly outings to Oklahoma City Thunder home games for children served by Make-A-Wish and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Oklahoma, along with the families and mentors who support them.
