Make sure to join Kevin Broom and I on draft night, starting at 8:00 p.m. EST for a live draft show on the Bleav in Wizards YouTube channel or X/Twitter accounts!
Additionally, we will be using that event as way to raise money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society in their fight to end multiple sclerosis (MS). MS is a terrible disease that affects several members of the Wizards community, including Wizards radio broadcaster Dave Johnson.
In the days leading up to our live NBA Draft show on June 26, anyone that makes a donation and has something they’d like us to advertise, plug, or promote during the show can let us know and we will do so! This is our most-viewed show of the year so whatever you’d like to promote in return for your donation will get plenty of eyes on it.
The money we raise through our NBA Draft fundraiser will help fund MS research, programs and services so that people affected by MS can live their best lives. We’ve set an ambitious goal because I know that with support from people like you, I can get there.
Join us in ending MS forever and donate today! The link again is here.
