Andrea Carter, the Atlanta Hawks’ Executive VP of Corporate Social Responsibility, chopped it up with HHU during the season opener pep rally on Tuesday night. The Hawks celebrated with their fans at the William Walker Recreation Center, exuding a vibrant glow and confident demeanor as they geared up to host the Houston Rockets on October 19th at 7:30pm. At the pep rally, the Hawks and State Farm distributed over 2,500 “Opening Night” t-shirts to local youth organizations. Each fan also received a t-shirt, met a current Atlanta Hawks player, and participated in “interactive activations.”
During Wednesday’s game, fans can expect high energy, fun activities and giveaways for the audience throughout the game, lots of cheering, an exciting team effort as new pieces of the team fit into place, and, most importantly, a “huge W” in the end!
