News ReleaseHTX DAO and HTX Ventures Attend Blockchain Festival Asia 2024: Advancing the Adoption of Innovative Crypto Technology
HTX DAO
On March 2, HTX DAO attended the Blockchain Festival Asia 2024, sponsoring both the event and the Lanyard session. This marked HTX DAO's debut at a top-tier crypto summit, highlighting its objective to enhance global recognition and attract more renowned industry institutions for its ecosystem development. HTX DAO was officially established on January 18, with the aim of being a leading decentralized autonomous organization in the blockchain ecosystem and focusing on open finance and tokenized economy. Currently, the HTX DAO ecosystem has enlisted the support of 19 major industrial players, including HTX, TRON, Poloniex, BitTorrent, Spark Digital Capital, APENFT, Stratified Capital, JustLend DAO, OIG Group, Double Peak, stUSDT, Zebec, USDD, ANKR, Sun.io, Merkle 3s Capital, WINkLink, TUSD, and Owlit Finance. HTX DAO has expressed its commitment to exploring the possibility of user autonomy within the community, facilitating information sharing across multiple channels. It aims to establish a self-governing ecosystem characterized by reciprocity and mutual benefits among platform and project teams, as well as Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) and users. By tapping into the community's wisdom and power, HTX DAO is committed to transforming HTX into a truly people-centered exchange. Furthermore, through organizing offline community engagement activities worldwide, HTX DAO endeavors to establish direct and trustworthy connections, thereby encouraging increased participation from practitioners and institutions within the crypto industry towards the development of the HTX DAO ecosystem. During the summit, Amelia Chan, the HTX Strategic Partnerships Lead, was invited to participate in a panel discussion on the topic of "Trading on DEX vs CEX: What’s the Difference and What Are the Risks? KYC Procedures with Technology". The choice between CEX and DEX, according to Amelia, depends on various factors, such as requirements for fund control, attitude towards regulation, user experience, liquidity needs, trading preferences, and the importance placed on anonymity. In comparison, CEX offers convenience and high liquidity, while DEX ensures privacy and allows individuals to have full control over their assets, aligning closely with the decentralized principles of the cryptocurrency industry. Amelia also pointed out that HTX prioritizes user information privacy and asset security. Currently, through the implementation of advanced encryption algorithms and multi-factor authentication mechanisms, the exchange is taking all possible measures to ensure the safety of users' accounts and assets. Moreover, it provides an extensive array of user-friendly trading features and tools, empowering users to perform trades with increased precision, speed, and efficiency. Looking ahead, HTX plans to introduce even more innovative products to cater to the diverse demands of its users. It's noteworthy that HTX Ventures also participated in the summit as an exhibitor.

News ReleaseNBA Leverages Esports Market Growth with Thriving Partnership
MarketJar
The NBA's foray into esports has been a strategic move to tap into the growing industry, leveraging the popularity of gaming to expand its audience and revenue streams. One significant initiative is the NBA 2K League, a professional gaming league centered around the NBA 2K video game series. This league, managed by the NBA, has not only attracted diverse players but also garnered substantial viewership. Several teams, like the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets, own their own NBA 2K League franchises. The NBA is also learning from esports on engaging fans, utilizing platforms and strategies to enhance interaction. This synergy between the NBA and esports has created growth opportunities for both sectors, allowing the NBA to reach a wider audience and establish a presence in the rapidly expanding esports industry. NBA team owners, including ownership behind the Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors and Philadelphia 76ers have also invested in esports organizations. Even athletes like Steph Curry, star of the Golden State Warriors, made an investment in Team SoloMid (TSM), 1 a Los-Angeles based esports team with an estimated valuation of US$540 million. 2 The NBA's partnerships and branding efforts have led to audience growth, especially in the Asia Pacific region, a key market for esports. This expansion has been supported by revenue streams unique to esports, such as in-game purchases and digital advertising, alongside traditional sports revenue sources. Another esports organization making waves in the esports arena is OverActive Media (TSXV:OAM) (OTC:OAMCF), Canada’s largest esports ownership group with a roster of widely popular professional esports team, including the Toronto Ultra in Call of Duty League, the MAD Lions for the League of Legends EMEA Championship and the Toronto Defiant in the Overwatch Champion Series. OverActive Media Strengthens Position in Esports with Acquisitions and Major Partnerships OverActive Media (TSXV:OAM) (OTC:OAMCF) has significantly strengthened its position, emerging as the top brands globally for viewership and engagement following the acquisition of two widely popular esports teams. On March 1, OverActive Media (TSXV:OAM) (OTC:OAMCF) completed the acquisition of Spanish esports organizations KOI and Movistar Riders, forming a global esports powerhouse with more than 100 million dedicated followers. The deal, which is the largest in the company’s history, broadens OverActive Media’s (TSXV:OAM) (OTC:OAMCF) global footprint to fast-growing international markets and brings with it a diverse range of top-tier Esports assets. KOI is a prominent Esports organization in Europe, established by Ibai Llanos, a world-leading Twitch streamer, and Gerard Piqué, a soccer icon formerly with FC Barcelona. Ibai grew KOI to become one of the biggest brands in Europe. Gerard Piqué, celebrated for his triumphs with FC Barcelona, Manchester United, and as a FIFA World Cup and UEFA EURO champion, launched the Kings League in 2022, one of the world's most-watched sports channels on digital platforms, with more than 100 million views in 2023. OverActive has entered into service agreements with Ibai and Gerard. Movistar Riders, another leading Esports entity in Spain that competes in the most popular games such as League of Legends, CS2, or VALORANT, as well we for FIFA via its Atlético de Madrid team, has a longstanding collaboration with Telefónica, a major Spanish telecom multinational. The acquisitions of KOI and Movistar Riders mark a significant milestone for OverActive Media, which expects the acquisitions to add C$10 million to C$12 million in revenues in 2024 and increase its reach to over 100 million across its portfolio. “Adding KOI and Movistar Riders to OverActive will solidify our position in Spain, EMEA and Latin America,” Adam Adamou, CEO of OverActive Media, said. “Both brands are active in complementary esports titles, have industry-leading talent and social influence, top-tier relationships, and related services that bring strong synergies across our combined portfolio of assets. We have spent much time with Ibai, Gerard, Fer, Carlos, Gabriel and their respective teams, and we are all aligned in wanting to make an immediate impact through this combination.” The company's recent multi-million-dollar partnership with Telefónica, a major global telecom operator, further strengthens its position. Telefónica, a long-time partner of Movistar Riders, has renewed its sponsorship for three years and is now a shareholder in OverActive Media. Movistar Riders' expanded partnership with Telefónica is the largest financial partnership in OverActive Media 's history. In conjunction with changes to OverActive Media 's esports operations in the EMEA region, Movistar Riders' Founder Fernando Piquer will join the company as its Chief Strategy Officer, while Movistar Riders CEO Carlos Garcia-Acevedo will become the Chief Commercial Officer for the EMEA region. Movistar Riders co-founder Gabriel Saenz de Buruaga and Piqué will join the OverActive Media board of directors. Click here for more information about OverActive Media (TSXV:OAM) (OTC:OAMCF).

News ReleaseJewish News Syndicate Commentary: Anti-Defamation League ‘Smeared’ NLPC
NLPC
Elle Krasne-Cohen has come to the defense of National Legal and Policy Center in an opinion piece distributed by the Jewish News Service titled, “When Will the ADL Start Fighting Antisemitism on the Left?” She points to the Anti-Defamation League’s embrace of causes like Black Lives Matter and juxtaposes it with an incident closer to home for NLPC: More recently, the ADL smeared two mainstream policy organizations—the National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR) and the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC)—accusing them without evidence of antisemitism. The ADL claimed that mere criticism of “globalism” or “globalist organizations,” including the antisemitic United Nations, is an “antisemitic dog whistle.” Krasne-Cohen continues: The NCPPR and NLPC are mainstream organizations, neither of which, to my knowledge, has displayed antipathy towards Jews or any other racial or religious minority. The smear was in the form of a posting on the ADL website on November 21 titled “Conspiracy Theories, Some With Antisemitic Roots, Crop Up in 2023 Shareholder Proposals.” The post appeared only six weeks after the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack, while antisemitic incidents and demonstrations were exploding worldwide. Why the ADL would devote time and resources to attacking NLPC, which has a long history of fighting antisemitism, was completely baffling to us. Equally baffling, the hit piece was dropped as the Thanksgiving holiday was getting underway. It was almost as if the ADL wanted the story out but didn’t want anyone to report it. The strategy, if it existed, worked because no one else covered it. Even more weirdly, the post itself carried this all-purpose disclaimer that tended to negate the impression that every other word of the post was calculated to create: At this time, there is no evidence to suggest that either organization’s agents espouse overt antisemitism, or that these proposals were filed with antisemitic intentions. So what is going on here? What was behind the attempted smear of NLPC and our ally, the National Center for Public Policy Research? Could it be that the ADL just doesn’t like us filing shareholder proposals, a form of activism dominated for many years by the Left? Krasne-Cohen and a number of other Jewish commentators and activists are making this case that the ADL, under the “leadership” of former Obama White House staffer Jonathan Greenblatt, has devolved into an ideological and partisan tool. ADL’s hit and run on NLPC was actually quite clever. Even if no one paid any attention to it when it was published, whoever wrote it (the piece is unsigned) sought to plant it on the internet for anyone to find for years to come. Any journalist seeking to discredit us can now simply describe NLPC as a “group that, according to the ADL, promotes antisemitic conspiracy theories.” It was a nice try but it is not going to work. NLPC’s track record of fighting antisemitism over many years is just too strong. Indeed, while the ADL has been sanitizing antisemitism by partnering with the likes of Al Sharpton, NLPC has been consistent, resolute and effective. To wit: Ben & Jerry’s - When the Unilever subsidiary Ben and Jerry’s announced in 2021 that it would end ice cream sales in “Occupied Palestinian Territory,” NLPC swung into action, launching the StopBenandJerrys.org website. In September 2021, NLPC filed a Complaint with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) against Anuradha Mittal, the anti-Israel chair of the Ben & Jerry’s board of directors. A few weeks later, she was named 2021 “Antisemite of the Year” by the website StopAntisemitism.org. Mittal appeared to have violated laws governing self-dealing by acting as a trustee of the Ben & Jerry’s Foundation while approving donations to her personal nonprofit where she is executive director taking a full-time salary. Also, the president of Ben & Jerry’s charitable foundation, Jeff Furman, steered more than $100,000 of its funds to his own nonprofit organization. In the wake of October 7 Hamas attack, Flaherty wrote an op-ed titled, “Unilever, Ice Cream and Antisemitism.” Unilever Divestment - NLPC was a proponent of Unilever divestment efforts in New York, New Jersey, North Carolina and Virginia. From the September 16, 2021, New York Times: “We are doing this because somebody has to hold the independent board of Ben & Jerry’s accountable for their anti-Semitic use of their platform and company resources,” said Tom Anderson, a director of the National Legal and Policy Center. NLPC collaborated with activist investor Michael Asher in support of Unilever divestment by New York State and New York City. In Virginia, Flaherty met with State Attorney General Jason Miyares and urged him to seek divestment of state funds from Unilever. In North Carolina, NLPC asked Treasurer Dale Folwell requesting divestiture of Unilever holdings in public pension funds. Black Lives Matter & Patrisse Cullors - As a result of original NLPC research, Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation co-founder Patrisse Cullors was forced to resign from the group in 2021. NLPC’s allegations, detailed in a Complaint to the IRS, related to her purchase of four pieces of real estate, and apparent self-dealing and inurnment. NLPC has also emphasized Cullors’ 2015 call at Harvard Law School for individuals to “step up boldly and courageously to end the imperialist project that’s called Israel.” NLPC was early in reporting about Black Lives Matter’s (BLM) links to anti-Israel groups. In 2016, Carl Horowitz, then a member of the NLPC staff, wrote a website post titled “Black Lives Matter Activists Join Anti-Israel Boycott.” Following October 7, NLPC asked Visa, Inc. to remove its BLM endorsement from its website and condemn Hamas and antisemitism. We had raised the BLM issue earlier in the year at the company’s shareholders’ meeting. NLPC had also raised the issue of Coca-Cola’s support for BLM at the company’s annual meeting. ADL’s Omar Resolution - NLPC has been a persistent critic of Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Talib. While we have cited financial irregularities in a Federal Election Commission complaint against Ocasio-Cortez and a House Ethics Committee complaint against Omar, NLPC has also criticized hostility to Jews by these members. In 2019, NLPC endorsed and publicized the ADL-initiated House resolution condemning Omar. See this op-ed titled “Antisemitism and Islamophobia: No Moral Equivalence” by Horowitz. Foreign Funding of U.S. Higher Education - The recent spate of on-campus antisemitic incidents has shed light an issue on foreign financial support for American colleges and universities, an issue that NLPC has investigated and publicized for several years. See this column by Charles Gasparino that extensively quotes NLPC Counsel Paul Kamenar. Al Sharpton - Whereas the present leadership of the ADL has sought to erase Sharpton’s past, NLPC will not forget his incitements in the 1991 Crown Heights riots, in which a Jew was murdered, nor will we forgive his dangerous statements, such as “If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house.” Sharpton was fined $285,000 in 2005 by the Federal Election Commission as a result of an NLPC Complaint for running an “off the books” presidential campaign. For several years, NLPC raised the issue of support for Sharpton’s National Action Network (NAN) at the shareholders’ meetings of American corporations, including PepsiCo, Anheuser-Busch and Colgate-Palmolive. Unlike the ADL, NLPC has never used the fight against antisemitism as a partisan weapon. In 2010, NLPC objected to the sponsorship of Sharpton’s National Action Network annual meeting by the Republican National Committee (RNC) and the participation of then-RNC Chairman Michael Steele. In 2009, NLPC asked former House Speaker Newt Gingrich to end his partnership with Sharpton in a campaign for “education reform.” That same year, NLPC criticized then-President George W. Bush for praising Sharpton. Jesse Jackson - In 2005, the New York Stock Exchange ended its financial support for Jackson’s Citizenship Education Fund, in response to a demand by NLPC that cited Jackson’s 1984 “hymie” and “Hymietown” comments, as well as financial improprieties involving the Fund. And if none of this is good enough for the ADL, it should be noted that NLPC has many Jewish supporters, including prominent individuals and former government officials, several of whom serve on the boards of local and national Jewish organizations. From 2001 to the time of his death in 2019, Edward M. Ackerman of Dallas was a key advisor and major donor to NLPC. His legacy is carried on today by NLPC and the Ackerman Center for Holocaust Studies at the University of Texas at Dallas. The ADL itself has partnered with the Ackerman Center. Founded in 1991, the National Legal and Policy Center promotes ethics in public life through research, investigation, education and legal action.

News ReleaseMothers’ Milk Bank Announces Critical Need for Donor Milk
Mothers' Milk Bank
Mothers’ Milk Bank (MMB), the California-based nonprofit, is inviting lactating mothers to join its network of milk donors, aiming to expand its pool of contributors. This announcement comes on the heels of a new University of Iowa study on the health benefits of donated breast milk for extremely premature infants. The importance of donated breast milk has garnered international media attention in recent months after tennis champion Serena Williams shared her milk donation in a viral social media post. In response to the significant demand for human donor milk and the urgent need to support our communities' most vulnerable members, Mother’s Milk Bank is leading a comprehensive initiative to recruit new milk donors. This initiative includes "Milk Meet-Ups," providing opportunities for individuals to begin the month-long process of qualifying as milk donors.

In 2023, over 2,000 generous donors contributed to Mothers’ Milk Bank, providing 1.64 million ounces of this life-saving mothers’ milk to babies in need across the United States. Recognizing the growing demand, Mothers’ Milk Bank anticipates an increased need in 2024. To meet this demand, the organization aims to recruit 5,000 lactating mothers from diverse backgrounds to become donors of this precious "liquid gold”. The process to become a donor typically takes a month, resulting in an ongoing need to recruit new donors to ensure a steady supply of donor milk. On average, most donors only send milk for less than one year or until their baby turns one, it is critical to consistently raise awareness of the importance of donating surplus mothers’ milk. “We are experiencing a pressing need for more milk donors, and it's vital for the welfare of the infants depending on our services that we expand our donor network without delay," states Jennifer Benito-Kowalski, chief executive officer of Mothers' Milk Bank. Mothers who are currently breastfeeding and have excess milk are encouraged to consider donating to help fill this crucial need. To start the process, visit the Mothers’ Milk Bank website to fill out an application. Those who are unable to donate breast milk can still help by sponsoring a cooler for $98 or by making a financial contribution. Why donate breast milk? The need for donated breast milk remains constant, especially for infants facing health complications. According to the National Institute of Health, more than 300,000 babies require advanced medical care in neonatal intensive care units across the United States every year. This need may arise when infants are born prematurely before their mother's milk has developed, when they face specific health challenges during infancy, or when they are adopted or born through surrogacy. Eligible milk donors include lactating mothers whose bodies produce more milk than their own baby needs, when they have lost their own child postpartum and need to help their body transition from lactation, or simply because they are altruistically driven to support infant health through equal access to breast milk. How does milk donation work? Mothers’ Milk Bank screens all potential breast milk donors through a comprehensive but easy, facilitated process per internationally recognized guidelines. All donated milk is pooled, pasteurized and tested before distribution to hospitals and families in need. There is no cost to becoming a milk donor – nor are donors compensated. Mothers’ Milk Bank provides donors with professional support and resources during the donation process and covers all screening and shipping costs. Lactating mothers interested in becoming a donor can learn more about the Milk Meetups and Spring Donor Drive at MothersMilk.org.

MarketJar
Maggi, one of Nestle’s billion-dollar brands, and its oriental noodles brand Fusian continue their support for the esports industry by extending their sponsorship with GiantX. 1 This partnership, now entering its fourth year, solidifies Maggi Fusian as the official partner of one of Europe's most popular and successful esports teams, GiantX. GiantX, formed from Giants Gaming and Excel Esports' merger in December 2023, is a major player in esports, excelling in various video game titles. It's a key founder of two major leagues - League of Legends EMEA Championship (LEC) and Valorant Champions Tour EMEA (VCT) by Riot Games. With headquarters in London, Malaga, and Berlin, GiantX has amassed over 23 million fans in Europe. Maggi Fusian's involvement in esports began in 2021 and has since become a recognized brand in the sector alongside GiantX. This partnership highlights Maggi Fusian's commitment to the esports community and its support for GiantX in their competitive endeavors. GiantX also signed a partnership agreement with KitKat, another Nestle company. In January, the partnership was renewed for an additional year. 2 As per the renewed partnership agreement, KitKat's logo will appear on the sleeve of player jerseys during both international and domestic competitions. Additionally, KitKat's branding will be showcased on GiantX's social media and streaming channels, including YouTube and Twitch, as well as other platforms where the team shares content. The collaboration will also involve the creation of original content. Another major player in the esports market is OverActive Media (TSXV:OAM) (OTC:OAMCF), an esports and entertainment company catering to today’s generation of fans. Over the last few months, OverActive Media has solidified its position as a major player in the esports world by acquiring two widely popular esports franchises, gaining new major sponsors and increasing both its audience engagement and viewership statistics across the leading streaming and social media platforms. Partnerships With Brands Drive Esports Growth Since adding KOI and Movistar Riders to its portfolio, OverActive Media has seen a significant uptick in viewership thanks to the popularity of the teams which have over 100 million dedicated followers and the social media cred of its co-founders Ibai Llanos, a world-leading Twitch streamer and former FC Barcelona football legend Gerard Piqué. OverActive Media has seen its viewer numbers soar in games like League of Legends, VALORANT, Counter Strike 2, and Call of Duty. The Mad Lions KOI team's performance, drawing a record 741,000 viewers in one match and 4.7 million Twitch views thanks to Ibai, has outshined even top TV show finales. In January, MAD Lions KOI and Movistars led the esports category in viewership and total engagements across major social media platforms in Europe and North America. It was also a top five brand globally during the same period. Their success continued with a historic 830,816 viewers for a single match, surpassing average NHL game viewerships. “Our ability to captivate a massive, global audience is pivotal to our success. The immediate surge in engagement and viewership after announcing the acquisitions highlights the strategic value of our operations and solidifies our leadership in the esports industry," said OverActive Media CEO Adam Adamou. "Merging our existing business with these acquisitions opens new vistas for viewer engagement. The enthusiastic response from our fans and partners reaffirms our direction and commitment.” The company has also bolstered its portfolio of noteworthy partnerships. On February 28, OverActive Media (TSXV:OAM) (OTC:OAMCF) announced a multi million dollar sponsorship with Telefónica, one of the largest telephone operators and mobile network providers in the world. Telefónica, which is a long-time partner of Movistar Riders, renewed its sponsorship for three years to the end of 2026. The expanded partnership includes select naming rights, brand visibility on team gear and products, and collaborative content development and marketing. In 2022, Telefónica took a minority stake in Movistar Riders. With the completion of these acquisitions, Telefónica will transition to becoming a shareholder in OverActive Media. Telefónica is the latest addition to OverActive Media ’s roster of partnerships which includes respected brands including Bell, who is also a shareholder of the company, as well as Kappa, Red Bull, TD, Razer, SCUF and AMD.

News ReleaseFastest Growing North American-Based Sports Media Company, Basketball Forever, Signs First North American Gaming Partnership with Dabble
Basketball Forever
Basketball Forever, one of the fastest growing and most engaged independent sports content brands in the world, announced its first North American gaming partnership with fantasy operator Dabble to offer free-to-play games to North American audiences. Though more than 50% of its website traffic and user base comes from the United States, this will mark Basketball Forever’s debut into the North American market. Since launching in the U.S. at the start of 2024, Dabble has garnered over 500,000 unique downloads and amassed more than 10,000 players, proving to be one of the most appealing fantasy operators in the industry. The partnership kicked off during NBA All-Star weekend when Dabble offered Basketball Forever’s Hot Hands game during the 2024 All-Star Game. The opening day saw nearly 10,000 players participating, culminating in more than 70,000 total sessions over All-Star weekend. “Our launch with Dabble during All-Star weekend proved that we are definitely in the right place at the right time by expanding our business operation into North America,” said Alex Sumsky, CEO and co-founder of Basketball Forever. “Our success with Dabble will be an incredible case study of what we can offer to North American fantasy and real money operators—something we have a proven track record of in Australia. For instance, through our content portfolio in Australia, we were able to drive A$15 million of LTV to TAB whilst only spending A$500,000 on player acquisition. With a highly engaged audience and an extremely low cost per acquisition, we can offer American operators the same type of impact, as well as the eventual launch of our own owned and operated products and game suites” Basketball Forever will offer Hot Hands again on March 26 during a matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks. To play the game, users are given randomly generated, personalized bingo cards filled with player prediction tiles. Tracking the progress of selected player performances in real-time, users chase winning combinations, creating an immersive and interactive experience that blends the thrill of live sports with the anticipation of winning. All a user needs to do is complete a line to win a prize and fill the board to claim the jackpot. Two additional games, V.O.A.T. and Streaker, are currently in development and will go live before the end of the 2024 NBA season. In V.O.A.T., players will answer a series of live questions across various in-game events, testing knowledge and strategic decision making. Incorrect guesses eliminate users until one is left standing. The winner scoops the prize offered for that game. In Streaker, users will participate in a pick-em style game built around digital trading cards with trading mechanics. Both games will be offered as free-to-play versions for now, with real-money versions offered in the immediate future. In open beta, the V.O.A.T. product boasted a 91% organic retention rate with the 30,000 strong user base averaging 35 unique sessions per week on the game. “With our V.O.A.T. game, we were able to acquire our entire beta population and watch it grow four times over without spending a dollar on marketing or user acquisition tactics,” said Basketball Forever Chief Strategy Officer Nick Kelland. “ Because we own and operate our games, the majority of Basketball Forever’s content can have V.O.A.T.-related calls to action integrated, which is a pure opportunity for free daily user acquisition. We are expecting V.O.A.T. to grow to 300,000 users by the end of 2024 with a CPA of essentially $0.00. This is a massive opportunity for brands and sponsors in the North American market to reach a large and motivated audience for an extremely low cost.” Founded in 2015, Basketball Forever is a digital media platform creating news and content on the global basketball market. For more than a decade, the company has built its brand organically from Australia, amassing a monthly global audience of more than 110 million unique visitors. Previously, all of its partners, sponsors and development efforts focused on the Australian market, even though the platform reaches 45 million unique visitors per month from the United States alone. With its first major push into the North American market, Basketball Forever will be making several strategic business announcements in the upcoming months. ABOUT BASKETBALL FOREVER Basketball Forever was founded in 2015 with a mission to celebrate the game and embrace its ability to unite people from all over the world. The brand reaches millions globally as the best source of breaking news, commentary, rumors, and culture through a uniquely social-first approach, bringing the best content to the consumer and removing the barriers between the creative and the consumer. The company is currently the top ranked global sports company amongst millennials by engagement, garnering 3.9 billion impressions yearly, with a monthly global reach of 105 million unique visitors.
