Minnesota Timberwolves fans have until the end of March to check out Northside Black-owned local businesses and organizations.
The Community Cultural Experience Tour, a partnership between the NBA franchise and U.S. Bank, was launched earlier this month to highlight local talent, businesses, and organizations and create more awareness and education on how these firms and groups are making a difference in the community.
Fans can download a Neighborhood Passport or pick one up at one of the tour stops. Those who visit all tour stops can submit their completed Passports by March 31 for a chance to win a game-day suite at a Wolves game in April.
More importantly, Timberwolves and Lynx Chief Impact Officer Tru Pettigrew said the new program will help “correct the false narrative that people have about North Minneapolis that is rooted in the stereotype about [the area] and all of Minneapolis.”
