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

VMC HOODIE

BY AVANTIKA BAWA

Found exclusively at

Benefitting

For the second season Rip City Clothing Co. has partnered with local women-owned businesses for the Made by Her line. We’re excited to offer these unique collaborations exclusively for fans in-arena. 25% of net profits will be donated to Girls Inc. of the Pacific Northwest, a non-profit that helps girls grow up healthy, educated and independent. Supplies are limited, so be sure to get yours today!

Avantika Bawa is an artist based in Portland, Oregon and educator at Washington State University Vancouver.

Between 2015 and 2018, Bawa produced drawings and prints entitled “Coliseum Series,” paying homage to the Veterans Memorial Coliseum. The VMC is considered “a jewel of International Style modernism.” Now the works, and the building that inspired them, are being immortalized through a collaborative sweatshirt celebrating the home of our 1977 NBA Championship.

Here at the Rose Quarter

Celebrating Five Decades of Extraordinary Employees Meet Olivia Hettrich, Premium Services Concierge. The Premium Services department is responsible for ensuring the highest quality experience for Courtside, Club, and Suite Level clients year-round.

Olivia has been working as a Premium Concierge for five seasons. She is responsible for providing excellent service, crafting solutions, and helping clients access all of their benefits.

“I started in 2015. My aunt works in the same department and recommended the job. I’ve been here ever since!”

OLIVIA HETTRICH

A Hillsboro native, Olivia grew up attending Trail Blazers games with her family. However, she never imagined herself working for the company.

“I grew up a Blazers fan. My whole family played basketball. I played in high school and college.”

Olivia graduated from Western Oregon University with a degree in business.

She continued her career by attending interior design school, and now works full-time as an interior designer for a flooring company all while working parttime in Premium Services.

“It’s tiring working two jobs. I basically work my full-time job 7:00 to 4:00 then work at the Rose Quarter 5:00 to 10:30. And while I don’t need the second job, I keep it because of the people (and the basketball, of course). My co-workers, and our guests are all so amazing.”

When asked how she creates extraordinary moments for guests, Oliva’s response is simple.

“I just really love to help people. It makes me happy. Sometimes guests come to us with ticket problems, or confusion, and I am gratified knowing I helped turn their bad experience into a good one.”

If you ever find yourself on the Club Level, make sure to stop by the concierge desk, to thank Olivia as well as the rest of the Premium Services team.

MEE T: WHAT IS THE RIP CITY CREW? Rip City Crew is the first official male dance crew of the Portland Trail Blazers.

We are in our 2nd season and currently have 11 dancers.

HOW OFTEN CAN FANS SEE THE RIP CITY CREW PERFORM AT GAMES? We typically perform at 3-4 homes games each month. At times we perform on our own, but really enjoying sharing the court with the BlazerDancers. On top of our performances, you can catch us pre-game on the concourse dancing in Blaze’s Parade!

30

WHAT STANDS OUT ABOUT THE RIP CITY CREW RELATIVE TO THE BLAZERDANCERS AND STUNT TEAM? We feel Rip City Crew brings another level of energy to Moda Center that adds to the overall game entertainment. We truly enjoy the art of dance and are honored to have a platform to share our craft with Rip City, alongside the BlazerDancers and Stunt Team.

platform. I hope we can continue to inspire the next generation of dancers.

Huy: Rip City Crew is special to me because it has allowed me to showcase myself as an artist. Being given an opportunity to share the court with many talented dancers is an incredible experience! Dancing for the Trail Blazers has really taught me what being an athlete is all about. I am very fortunate to have met new friends while being a part of Rip City Crew.

WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR MOST MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE AS A RIP CITY CREW MEMBER?

Uly: What makes Rip City Crew special is the Team. The culture we have created together, both in and outside of dance.

We have been given the opportunity to share our passion of dance on such a big

Huy: A memorable moment for myself would have to be choreographing and shooting the Sneaker Shuffle video for Damian Lillard’s new shoes featured on Adidas Night. It was such a fun experience!

The adrenaline that runs through your body is unlike anything else. The energy in the building gets you HYPE every time.

I’m blessed to have experienced it.
