Key Takeaways:
MooreJustice Accident & Injury Lawyers helped bring a free day of basketball, music, and mentorship to Times Square on August 17. Community Thru Hoops ran from morning until night, and every part of it was open to the public at no cost. Kids got court time with a Knicks legend, families got entertainment, and community organizations got a stage in one of the busiest places on earth.
Sponsoring the day was an easy call for our team. If you want to learn more about the firm behind the sponsorship or need legal help with an injury, you can reach us through (917) 809-7014.
The event took place on Monday, August 17, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Power 105.1 and Way Up with Angela Yee teamed up with Three K3ys Inc. and Pathways to Abundance to host it. The day opened with a live broadcast of Way Up with Angela Yee before turning into basketball and entertainment.
Setting all of that down in the middle of Times Square meant tourists, commuters, and neighborhood families ended up in the same crowd. Organizers packed the schedule with a mix of competition and family entertainment:
Not everyone came for the basketball, and that was the point.
Three K3ys Inc. works across sports, entertainment, and community engagement, creating opportunities through athletics, education, and partnerships. Pathways to Abundance focuses on strengthening communities through education, mentorship, wellness, and economic opportunity.
The clinic drew the biggest crowd of the morning. Knicks legend Allan Houston led it in partnership with FISLL, which stands for Faith, Integrity, Sacrifice, Leadership, and Legacy. Houston spent nine seasons with the Knicks and made two All-Star teams, so the kids on that court were learning from someone who played at the highest level.
Instruction came free, with an emphasis on leadership and character rather than on drills alone. That framing matters for young players who may never go pro but will carry the habits anyway. Clinics built this way tend to stick with kids longer than a session of shooting form does, because the lessons carry over into school, work, and family life.
Court time in the middle of Times Square is not something most kids in the five boroughs get to experience. Organizers also ran a youth showcase later in the day, giving local players a chance to compete in front of family, neighbors, and a fair number of curious strangers.
Sponsoring a youth basketball event is not a stretch for us. Community work is not a marketing line for this firm; it predates the firm itself.
Youth sports in particular tend to hold our attention. A club gives kids somewhere to be, adults who know their names, and a reason to keep showing up, and those three things are harder to come by in this city than they should be.
In 2021, we sponsored County Westmeath jerseys after the club won the New York Intermediate Football Championship, and our support for the club has continued since. Years before the firm opened its doors, our founder led an initiative that provided free legal assistance to families affected by Hurricane Sandy.
If you were at Community Thru Hoops and have questions about an injury, our team is available 24/7 at (917) 809-7014. We offer a free case evaluation, so calling costs you nothing.
Darren T. Moore was born and raised in Ireland, finished law school there, and arrived in the United States at 22 to sit for the New York Bar Exam. He passed as one of the youngest examinees ever to take it, then moved here permanently.
His first legal job was on the 77th floor of the Empire State Building. Several years in midtown Manhattan followed, most of them spent in the city's courts. He founded MooreJustice Accident & Injury Lawyers in January 2019.
Sports came with him. Moore played in Ireland's Eircom under-21 soccer league, and he later represented the New York Gaelic Football team in the 2012 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship. A Senior County Football medal followed in 2013 with the Kerry club.
He remains involved with the Gaelic Athletic Association, or GAA, which is based at Gaelic Park in the Bronx. Watching kids get real coaching and real competition is familiar ground for him.
Community Thru Hoops ran on partnerships, and programs like it need more than one day of attention. A few simple things keep this kind of programming alive:
None of that requires a budget, which is largely the point. Youth basketball is the hook here, but the same logic applies to reading programs, food drives, and after-school clubs across the five boroughs.
It ran on Monday, August 17, 2026, in Times Square, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Admission was free.
No. The clinic was free, and so was every other activity on the schedule.
Knicks legend Allan Houston led it in partnership with FISLL, an organization built around faith, integrity, sacrifice, leadership, and legacy.
Power 105.1 and Way Up with Angela Yee hosted the day alongside Three K3ys Inc. and Pathways to Abundance.
We came on as a sponsor. Our team has supported local clubs and community programs across the city for years, and this fit that pattern.
Organizers have not announced a second date. Following Power 105.1 and the partner organizations is the fastest way to hear about it.
A free day of basketball at Community Thru Hoops in Times Square is a good reason to talk to a law firm about something other than a case. Still, if an accident has left you injured and unsure what comes next, our team handles that too.
Darren T. Moore and Nicholas Blatti represent injured people throughout New York City, and they built this practice around being reachable. When you call, you reach the firm rather than a call center. We will listen to what happened, review your injuries, and explain the legal options available to you.
There is no cost to start the conversation. Call our team at (917) 809-7014 or reach us through our contact page for a free case evaluation.
