The City League

On Saturday, we had the privilege to visit and interview 1953 Indiana Mr. Basketball Hallie Bryant. The 1983 Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame inductee will be part of a documentary film in the works exploring the story of Indianapolis' legendary Lockefield Dust Bowl!

Last night, we had the honor of hosting an incredible event to celebrate and show appreciation for our amazing sponsors and partners. The night was filled with gratitude, energy, and connection as we reflected on the collective efforts that have made all our endeavors possible. We simply couldn’t do it without the unwavering support of these organizations and individuals who continue to invest in our mission. Their contributions empower us to keep making an impact, and we look forward to growing together as a community. Here’s to many more successes ahead AfroBall Indy! Thank you Cummins Inc., Eli Lilly and Company, GANGGANG, The City League and InnoPower LLC (InnoPower Indy) to just name a few! #afroballindy #sponsership #collaboration #support

It's been a fun last two months of basketball and community activities at the Boner Fitness & Learning Center and the Indiana State Fair. Thank you to everyone who played a part in continuing to build something special for our city! Special thank you to Steve Smitherman and CareSource for the support they gave The City League as the "League Leading Partner" for a third consecutive summer. TCL would look very different without their investment in our community. We look forward to 2025..

Big shout out to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the program they run, that pays non-profits to help staff the Indianapolis 500. The City League has sent volunteers to the race the past two years. It is a great opportunity for us to raise some money while also getting an up close & personal experience of one of the world's greatest events. Public thank you to all of our volunteers who put in a 13 hour day, pushing through a rain delay to support TCL!

We are excited to announce that we will be kicking off The Summer of Hoop Dreams in Chicago! On June 8th we will be taking three teams, representing Indianapolis , north to the Windy City to compete against some of Chicago’s best. The action will happen at the Breakthrough Family Plex in Garfield Park, on the west side of one of our country’s hoops hot beds. Garfield Park brought Arthur Agee and the iconic documentary Hoop Dreams to the world more than 30 years ago. The famous west side neighborhood is also where basketball legend Isaiah Thomas cut his teeth on the game. We are looking forward to bringing our best to Chicago to show them what Indiana basketball looks like up close & personal! We can’t think of a better way to kick off what will be a phenomenal summer of hoops and community activities at The City League. We believe this is the start of something of value to our communities in both Indianapolis & Chicago. Looking forward to building with DeAngelo Johnson and Breakthrough !
