On March 2, 2009, Youth, I.N.C. hosted two exciting events for Net Gain athletes and sponsors. At Hunter College, nearly 60 Net Gain athletes participated in an intensive basketball clinic run by New York Knicks current and former players Anthony Bonner, Wilson Chandler, Danillo Gallinari, Anthony Mason, John Starks, and Chris Wilcox. The high school athletes learned the latest techniques, practiced drills on the court, and heard words of wisdom from some of basketball’s greatest players.

Following the clinic, 21 Net Gain sponsors attended a private dinner with New York Knicks Coach Mike D’Antoni at the ‘21’ Club, gaining insight and perspective into the life of a NBA coach.
In addition, on March 25th the Knicks hosted 200 Net Gain athletes when they take on the Los Angeles Clippers.
