Bring the Sonics Back!!
Have you made your voice heard in support of Bringing the Sonics Back and the new arena? Join us Friday, July 13th at noon on the Sonic's basketball court in Colman Park. Seattle Adaptive Sports and other non-profit organizations will announce their support of Chris Hansen's proposal to the city. 
The Seattle Wheelchair Sonics miss having a basketball team in town. The Sonics team provided opportunities for engagement in communities around the Puget Sound area as role models and motivation to so many young people. At a half-time show, where else would 20,000 people see the 'ability' of our athletes? This opens the door to acceptance, employment and empowers our athletes to strive for better lives.
Having a NBA Sonics team in Seattle again is good for our communities. Come show your support and wear a Sonics Jersey with us.
