The JAB Classic is an all-star charity game that unites top athletes, including NBA and international basketball players, to address racial inequality and foster community connections.
In response to the rise hate around the world, the JAB Classic aims to use basketball as a global unifier, inspiring the next generation to lead the fight for equality within their communities and beyond.
GLOBAL REACH
From court renovations in Ashkelon to clinics across cities like Dimona and Be’er Sheva, JAB is creating international impact through sport. With over 75% of student-athletes forming friendships across ethnic lines and 92% reporting growth mindsets, JAB exemplifies how basketball transcends borders.
BECOME A SPONSOR:
MORE THAN A GAME
In a time of rising hate and division, there is no nationally recognized all-star game in the U.S. that uses the power of sport to consistently combat racism and all forms of hate. This is a missed opportunity to turn cultural influence into real impact. Sports bring people together—and it’s time we use that unity to stand for justice, equity, and inclusion.
Jab Classic fills a major national gap with being structured like:
ANNUALLY
An annual, high-visibility all-star game featuring elite athletes (NBA, WNBA, internal players).
Community focused
Backed by community leaders, influencers, and sponsors.
CLear Mission
With a clear mission to unify communities and educate youth.
Educational
Integrated educational initiatives designed to confront the systemic roots of all forms of hate including antisemitism, racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, homophobia, and other intersecting prejudices.
