Bsn Sports Launches Inaugural #dunkdchallenge To Celebrate Coaches Nationwide

7 September 2023

BSN SPORTS has launched the #DunkdChallenge, a creative way to show appreciation and celebrate coaches across the nation for their unwavering commitment to their athletes, schools, and communities. Not every coach gets the glory of winning championships or experiencing career-defining moments, but their dedication deserves recognition. The #DunkdChallenge provides an opportunity for thousands of teams to express their gratitude to their coaches.

Terry Babilla, President of BSN SPORTS, emphasized the profound impact coaches have on their athletes and the community. Coaches serve as mentors, role models, and educators, helping athletes grow and succeed both on and off the field. The #DunkdChallenge aims to acknowledge and celebrate their tireless efforts.

As part of the #DunkdChallenge, BSN SPORTS will donate $10 to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital® for each social media post that includes the hashtag #DunkdChallenge. This initiative aligns with Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in September. Athletes can also nominate their coaches for a chance to win $10,000 in BSN SPORTS credit. The winner will be announced on National Coaches Day on October 6.

Participating in the #DunkdChallenge is simple and enjoyable:

  1. Dunk a coach who has had a positive impact on your life.
  2. Share the "Dunkd moment" on social media using the hashtag #DunkdChallenge.
  3. Tag @BSNSPORTS on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or X (formerly Twitter).
  4. After posting on social media, nominate the coach at www.bsnsports.com/dunkdchallenge to compete for the grand prize of $10,000 in BSN SPORTS credit for team uniforms, apparel, or equipment.

Furthermore, well-known professional and collegiate athletes have joined forces with BSN SPORTS to kickstart the #DunkdChallenge. Athletes like Bobby Okereke from the New York Giants, Talitha Diggs from the University of Florida's track & field team, and Alyssa Ustby from the University of North Carolina's basketball team, among others, will share their "Dunkd moments" on social media.
