completed in partnership with the power management company Eaton
is set in the second most populous municipality in São Paulo in Parque Monsenhor Bruno Mardini
It's designed by the Brazilian artist Antonio Neto
Neto incorporated what Valinhos is famously known for: its purple fig
the municipality's "Figo Festival" welcomes around 300,000 people
The court is also known to host hundreds of players each week.
"The Cavaliers are passionate about harnessing the unique power of sport to foster community and youth development,” said Nic Barlage
Rock Entertainment Group and Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse CEO
"Our commitment to Brazil and ongoing work to bring Cleveland to the world deepens with every visit and with each court we are able to help transform
We are so grateful to Eaton for their partnership and shared dedication to making a lasting impact."
The Cavalier's goal to encourage and grow the sport of basketball in Brazil started in April 2023
They had renovated the Beco de Nego basketball Court in São Paulo first
then refurbished the two courts at the athletic facility of Clube de Regatas Saldanha de Gama.
While the newly refurbished court is a product between the Cavaliers and Eaton — which has locations in Northeast Ohio and 160 countries
including Brazil — other goals of the partnership include focusing on youth basketball clinic and STEM programming across Brazil and northeast Ohio
“We are honored to have the opportunity to work alongside the Cavaliers
an organization who cares equally about their legacy on the court as in the community
to deliver this wonderful new court to the Valinhos
This year Eaton Valinhos turns 65-years-old
and we could not think of a better way to celebrate than participating in this special project for the city,” said Antonio Galvão
“Sport is a powerful tool for transformation and inclusion
and we are confident that basketball will continue to be a driving force for development for current and future generations in our communities.”
the Cavaliers donated $10,000 to support Special Olympics Brazil athletes selected to compete in the 2024 Special Olympics Latin America Games in Paraguay this coming October
