Later this month, real core memories are going to be forged. Kids who do not yet know what is coming will walk into their first Phoenix Suns game. They will see the lights. Hear the noise. Feel the buzz. Watch the controlled chaos of basketball unfold in front of them. They will walk out clutching a free T-shirt like it is treasure, designed by yours truly.
That is actually how my connection to Dave King’s Bright Side Night began. When I first started writing for the site, Dave reached out after seeing some of the graphics I had put together, both for my articles and the Suns JAM Session podcast. He slid into my inbox with an idea and a question. Would I design the Bright Side Night T-shirt?
I did not hesitate. I was honored. Genuinely. And it became a tradition I carry forward year after year. So now the natural question becomes this. What does this year’s version look like? What will the kids in attendance, put in those seats by you, receive? I went with the license plate theme this season.
We are in the homestretch now. Tomorrow is the final day to donate to Dave King’s Bright Side Night. And so far, this community has raised over $11,000. Almost 400 kids will be in attendance, yelling and screaming for the Suns. That number still stops me in my tracks. Dave would be beaming. Proud. Grinning ear to ear, knowing this thing did not fade, but grew.
The window is closing. The Suns need time to handle the logistics and make sure those kids are in their seats on Tuesday, January 27. So this is the last call.
Give an underprivileged child the chance to experience a Suns game.

If you have already donated, thank you again. Truly. This is what community looks like. And it is an honor to help carry this forward.
