IMPACT GOAL: To create the largest single-source life-saving registry initiative in collegiate basketball history

Over the course of the 2025-26 and 2026-27 seasons, Project 44 will significantly increase its marketing & communications presence throughout the city and state to generate awareness, education, and advocacy in an effort to add a historic number of committed donors to the NMDP registry. Focused on DI, DII, and DIII collegiate basketball events and post-season tournaments, Project 44 will activate partnerships with organizations such as Indiana Sports Corp, Butler Athletics, and other anchor institutions throughout Indianapolis.
