It's The Little Things

Thu, 31 Mar 2011 10:42:00 -0700

One of the things I most admire about the Trailblazers franchise is the ongoing commitment to service. It's a privilege to be part of an organization that makes giving an active component of everyday operations. In this time of extreme need and global crisis it can be the little things we do to make the difference in the lives of those around us.

Home Court Advantage

Tue, 15 Mar 2011 17:52:00 -0700

A regular season game in The Rose Garden is like being at the Playoffs all season long! The enthusiasm and excitement at every game is often the fuel to our teams winning fire. We're known for being one of the loudest arenas in the league making The Rose Garden a tough road game environment to play in.

At the heart of any teams "home court advantage" are

I can't tell you all how much fun it is to be part of the game day experience! Before fans arrive there is a humming in the Rose Garden, almost like it's waiting for the action to start.

She almost burned the house

Feliz Navidad

My sneakers were rhinestoned high tops with glitter laces and I had cute knee high socks, mismatched for added luck! I dreamed that I was an XSPF (Extra Small Power Forward) for

This summer I got the opportunity to whip a local dance team into shape with MTV's MADE. Crescent Valley High School in Corvallis, OR is home to the Radiance Dance Team and it was my job to help them sparkle! I had my work cut out for me as their coach. I had to transition this group of shy and quiet young women into a team of dancers that shine on stage and could walk

A Never Ending Legacy

Mon, 08 Nov 2010 01:14:00 -0800

When my father passed away my sister wrote a poem that talked about his legacy and how seeds were planted in our hearts each day we had spent with him up to that moment. From those seeds the fruits of his labor began to grow in us and the light of his life will continue to shine. As we remember Maurice Lucas today and in the years to come I pray each of you finds
