Our Values

At the 76ers, everything we do is rooted in our values. Whether it’s on the court or off the court, our values guide the way we cultivate relationships with our fans, our partners, our communities and each other. By infusing our community work with our values, we craft experiences that provide young people with a foundation to learn and embrace the behaviors and actions that drive life-long success.
