The annual event presented by ShiftKey is the most important fundraiser for the MAVS Foundation. All income supports the foundation mission to raise women, children and families in need.

This year's MAVS Ball, which was held in the Silo in the Design District of Dallas, was visited by almost 700 guests, including the 2024-25 Dallas Mavericks, head coach Jason Kidd and several MAVS legends such as Shawn Marion, who delivered a 10th Assisary during the program.

And there was no lack of new faces on this year's ball.

Anthony Davis, Klay Thompson, Naji Marshall, Max Christie, Kessler Edwards, Caleb Martin and CEO of New Mavs, CEO Welts, gave their Mavs Ball debuts on Sunday.

“Who would want to miss that, right,” asked Welts Media when he changed the blue carpet, which was presented by Chime. “This is the most exciting evening of the year – it is an opportunity to come together, not only to celebrate the Mavericks, but also to collect a whole series of money for the MAVS Foundation that is distributed throughout North Texas for wonderful, wonderful causes.”

As part of the evening program, the Mavericks took time to recognize seven of the team of the team 2024-25 of the team, the Agape Clinic, the Jubilee Park & ​​Community Center, Hope Cottage, Reading Partners, Texas Advocacy Project and Violas House.

These local non-profit organizations are important to promote the range of the MAVS Foundation by awarding the funds on the MAVS ball of the past year to expand their boots on the floor, and the programs for community members who need the most urgent.

“I look forward to collecting a lot of money for the MAVS Foundation,” Thompson told the press, which covered the blue carpet. “I'm looking forward to Shawn Marion's statements – I would like to hear what the champion has to say, especially in the 2011 season because they really came together and have done something special. And finally, probably just a few starters – I'm pretty hungry. “

Be assured that Thompson was fed well at the event and, together with the guests of Chime, enjoyed a three-course menu that Thompson drew as table colleagues during the event drawing as table colleagues, which players matched with their VIP tables.

After dinner, the auctioneer Dean McCurry rose with a huge head or cocks.

The coin flips series ended with a head-to-head duel between Kyrie Irving and the later winner, who later won a VIP experience this season.

When Irving made his entrance on the blue carpet, he reminded the press for which he was known to the Mavs Ball, and he certainly provided the amount during the live auction to take one of two “Lego home with him [Dereck] Lively experiences.

In addition to the gaming experiences and memorabilia that were offered in the live and mute auctions, there were some particularly unique options.

The Mavericks in “Tux and Tennies” organized a sneaker train, in which the guests were able to buy a mysterious couple shoes from a curated collection of games of games, signed and playful sneakers.

All the special touches at the event last night and the immense generousness of the guests present have exceeded the MAVS Foundation for the evening about the 2 -million dollar goal.

“I think this is one of the most MAVS nights we have,” said Dwight Powell, who is one of the many MAVS players who are often involved in the team's community initiatives. “Regardless of the games we have in front of our season, regardless of the season, the playoffs and all of this is one of the nights when we remember what it is about.

“The MAVS Foundation did such an incredible work in the community, set a standard and showed us as a player and a community as a whole how to affect changes.”

The record funds collected will flow back to the North Texas community, since the Dallas Mavericks and Mavs Foundation continues to show what it means to be a master in the community.
