14th Annual Shooting Touch GALA AND WATCH PARTY
April 6, 2026 | Big Night Live | Boston, MA | 5:30pm
We’re excited to invite you to the 14th Annual Shooting Touch Gala, returning on NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship Night for a high-energy, championship-caliber experience at Big Night Live, Boston’s premier live-event venue.
This unforgettable evening transforms college basketball’s biggest moment into a purpose-driven Gala and Watch Party, bringing together elite athletes and leaders from sports, business, media, and philanthropy to celebrate the power of basketball to connect youth and women to healthier futures—locally and globally.
This is not a traditional Gala.
It’s a championship-night experience built around the game, the moment, and the mission.
