The Giving Back Fund is proud to present Big Game Big Give when the star-studded charity party returns to the Valley of the Sun on Saturday, February 11th, 2023 at 6:00 p.m. With a goal of raising $2 million, the 2023 Big Game Big Give will be held at the 5 acre private estate of Dr. Pablo Prichard in Paradise Valley, Arizona.

During the event, the Vincere Foundation will be honored for its life saving work in the prevention, early detection, and treatment of cancer in Firefighters and First Responders. Arizona’s firefighters will also be recognized at the event, and to commemorate those firefighters, a special Fire and Elements theme will be incorporated into the evening.

NBA Hall of Famer Dikembe Mutombo, who played 18 NBA seasons for the Denver Nuggets, Atlanta Hawks, Philadelphia 76ers, New Jersey Nets, New York Knicks and Houston Rockets will be honored during the event.

Mutombo will receive The Giving Back Fund’s Award for Extraordinary Philanthropic Achievement, which from that night forward will be renamed in his honor and will be presented by former NFL Hall of Fame Linebacker Ray Lewis. Mutombo is currently undergoing treatment for a brain tumor. Shaquille O’Neal has been invited to accept the award on his behalf.

Former Phoenix Suns and LA Lakers player Cedric Ceballos will serve as the event emcee and DJ.
