TRAIL BLAZERS GAME PROGRAM • STUNTER FEATURE

DESTANY YEARS AS A STUNTER: 2

WHAT INSPIRES YOU TO STUNT? I have always wanted to be a Cheerleader/ Stunt team Member ever since I was little. It's the sport I fell in love with; stunting and tumbling! I love doing flips and tricks. It’s the best feeling and especially when it’s a new skill.

My favorite is when we are at the end of the game, points are close, our team has the last play and everyone in the arena is standing up cheering them on. It’s the last few seconds, they take the shot, the ball goes through the hoop and everyone is going crazy; the Trail Blazers, the Stunt team, Dancers and fans all at the same time. That’s my favorite.

WHAT ARE SOME LITTLE-KNOWN FACTS ABOUT YOURSELF YOU WANT OTHERS TO KNOW?

WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES?

I would say that I am an entrepreneur. I have goals to build a business or a couple from the bottom up and I hope to inspire others to go for their dreams!

I am a diverse girl, so I like to do a lot of different things. These include snowboarding, being a nerd watching anime and playing video games and going to events dressed to impress.

WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR MOST MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE AS A STUNT TEAM MEMBER? Now this one is really hard, there are so many amazing memories to choose from! My Stunt Team, the fans and the Trail Blazers team making Portland proud. However, I have one and it’s more of a feeling.

IF YOU COULD GIVE ADVICE TO ASPIRING YOUNG STUNTERS, WHAT WOULD YOU TELL THEM? Go to open gym! Everyone is so nice and happy to help with any skill that you want to try. It’s so much fun! Take any opportunities given to progress.

Here at the Rose Quarter

Celebrating Five Decades of Extraordinary Employees You’re probably used to seeing Moda Center staff out and about at games and events – but the Rose Quarter’s success is also due in large part to those behind the scenes. That’s where Robert Crandall comes in. Robert, a Facility Security Agent, has been with the Rose Quarter for 16 years now.

ROBERT CRANDALL

“When I applied in 2004, my experience wasn’t in security, but in management. They really liked how poised I was, and I’ve been able to carry that over.”

Robert’s main priority is protecting the fans and the building. “I know this place inside and out. I can look at a keyhole and know exactly which key goes in there.” On event days, he oversees arena safety, whether that’s fixing fire alarms or making sure nothing suspicious is happening on campus. Other days he will cover the dispatch post. “Dispatching is when all calls are directed to you. If there’s a medical emergency, I’m the one contacting the medical techs. I coordinate with safety inspectors or make sure housekeeping is where they need to be.” Robert also helps fans after the games or shows. “I’ll often walk all around the parking garage with people who are lost or can’t find their cars. I’m a firm believer that if you treat people with kindness, it’ll come back to you.” There have been plenty of events in the 16 years since Robert arrived, but the craziest one was his first-ever event in 2004. “It was Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey’s three ring circus. They shut down the parking garage and anchored the elephant cages into the wall. The tigers were in the annex garage, and I remember the giraffes and lions walking through the loading dock. It was a circus (no pun intended) but that’s when I knew this was going to be an amazing experience working here.” If you happen to bump into Robert in the parking garage or elsewhere, be sure to say hello and thank you for all of his years of service!

Our organization has an opportunity and responsibility to positively impact our staff, players, fans, and community. As such, we are committed to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion within our organization and our community, which includes: • Providing a safe and welcoming environment that champions differences and embraces the respectful open expression of ideas that are free from hateful, racist, profane, violent or harassing behaviors or comments. • Ensuring that our policies, practices and programs consider and seek to address societal inequities that disproportionately impact specific groups. • Utilizing our platform and resources to positively impact people throughout our community who have been underserved. • Cultivating a staff that reflects the community we serve and an inclusive culture where multiple perspectives are valued.

The Trail Blazers are dedicated to positively impacting the lives of children and families who have been historically underserved, where they live (environmental sustainability), learn (education), and play (sport and physical activity). The Trail Blazers Foundation gives grants and scholarships to nonprofits, schools, and students and is funded through meaningful corporate partnerships and revenue from Trail Blazers license plate sales, 5050 raffle, retail programs, and other fundraising efforts. During the 2018-19 season, Trail Blazers Inc. and the Trail Blazers Foundation donated over 1 million dollars to support youth across Oregon and SW Washington.

The Trail Blazers believe our home court extends far beyond the arena and everything we do in our lives makes an impact, so we encourage fans to join us in our efforts to protect our planet and our community to ensure a brighter future for generations to come.

The Trail Blazers are committed to seeing all youth graduate from high school by supporting programs, investing resources, and raising awareness of successful youth and the schools and organizations that help them effectively navigate their academic journeys.

The Trail Blazers are committed to ensuring that youth have positive early experiences playing basketball by running year-round camps and clinics, supporting existing programs, and investing resources in the community that provide access to sport. www.trailblazers.com/community

COMMITTED TO MAKING A BIG DIFFERENCE, WITH A SMALL FOOTPRINT.

Moda Center is the first existing arena to receive LEED O+M (v4.1) Platinum Certification, a major milestone in the greening of sports. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification identifies and rewards best practices for a building's energy, water, waste, transportation and human experience.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Sustainability is and always will be a crucial part of our culture. We would not have gotten here without our dedicated guests, staff and our partners.
