Through a wide range of community engagement activities anchored by basketball, the Impact Week empowered local youth, fostered meaningful exchange across regions and cultures, and reinforced the values of inclusion and community cohesion.

Throughout the week, a distinguished lineup of NBA legends, players and coaches, together with prominent figures from the sporting world, visited local schools and community venues across Macao. Among them were NBA legends Ray Allen, Shawn Marion, Yao Ming, Mitch Richmond, Stephon Marbury, Cuttino Mobley and Chris Bosh; renowned Chinese basketball player Ding Yanyuhang, China women's basketball national team player Zhang Ziyu, and China short track speed skating Olympic gold medallist Wang Meng; and Sands Global Ambassador Sir David Beckham. Through close interactions with diverse community groups across Macao, they shared the values of sport and insights from their personal journeys.

Patrick Dumont, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Las Vegas Sands Corp., and chairman of the board and non-executive director of Sands China Ltd., said: "With the successful conclusion of The NBA China Games 2026, we are delighted to have extended the positive impact of this world-class sporting event into the Macao community, creating valuable opportunities for people of various ages and backgrounds to connect and engage. This year's Impact Week brought together more than 2,900 students, community members and volunteers, who shared in the excitement and care inspired by the event, while enabling NBA players and legends to experience first-hand Macao's diverse and inclusive attributes. The programme demonstrated the power of sport to connect people, foster inclusion and inspire the next generation.

"We extend our sincere gratitude to the Macao SAR Government, NBA Cares, our community partners, and the Sands China team members and Sands Cares Ambassadors for their steadfast support and active involvement, which helped bring this meaningful Impact Week to life. Looking ahead, we will continue to support the Macao SAR Government's policy direction and draw upon Sands China's extensive experience and strengths in attracting and staging world-class events. By further enhancing the synergies generated through the 'Tourism+' initiative, we aspire to contribute fresh impetus to Macao's economic diversification."

On Wednesday, the first day of Impact Week, Youth Day brought together 200 young participants from the GBA and Hainan province, who took part in basketball training, interactive exchange activities and friendly matches under the guidance of NBA legends and coaches. Through sport, the event fostered connections and friendships among young people across the Greater Bay Area.

Current players from the Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets joined local students in a basketball clinic and to assemble goodie bags, enabling participants to enhance their basketball skills while extending the spirit of caring into the community.

On Friday, School Day, an NBA legend and coaches visited Yuet Wah College, Macau, where they engaged with local students for a basketball clinic and a Chinese calligraphy experience. The event offered students a valuable opportunity to learn first-hand from world-class basketball professionals while promoting cultural exchange between East and West. Approximately 600 people participated in the day's activities.

On the fourth day, Health and Wellness Day, NBA legends joined executives from Las Vegas Sands and Sands China, together with social enterprise Happy Kitchen, a subsidiary of the Fuhong Society of Macau supported by Sands China, to prepare and distribute 200 boxed lunches to people in need in Macao. The initiative will provide a total of 1,500 meals to beneficiaries in the community. The day also featured wellness workshops aimed at promoting healthy lifestyles and well-being.

The Impact Week concluded with Sunday's Community Basketball Carnival, held at NBA HOUSE at The Venetian® Macao and attended by a total of 200 participants, including NBA legends and coaches, athletes from Macau Special Olympics, members of local social service organisations and Sands Global Ambassador Sir David Beckham.

Through their dedicated volunteer efforts, they helped ensure the smooth delivery of the week's charitable initiatives while exemplifying Sands China's commitment to giving back to society and serving the community.
