We have been overwhelmed and gratified by the support from the Santa Cruz community and the best fans in the G League. Off the court, a vital part of our identity is service and giving back to the place we call home. Over the last four years, we have participated in over 500 community events, serving Santa Cruz City Schools, nonprofits, and organizations that champion causes to make Santa Cruz a better place.
