NCAA Men's Final Four® Legacy Project presented by Dove Men+Care
About the Legacy Project
The NCAA Men’s Final Four® Legacy Project is a community impact initiative designed to ensure the excitement of Final Four weekend leaves a lasting, meaningful benefit in the host city. In partnership with sponsors and local leaders, the Legacy Project delivers hands-on improvements to community spaces—such as parks, schools, youth centers, and neighborhood facilities—that serve residents long after the final buzzer sounds.
By combining the energy of the event with local priorities, the Legacy Project helps strengthen neighborhoods, elevate community pride, and expand opportunities for youth and families. Each host city identifies a project that reflects its unique needs, creating an authentic and lasting contribution that celebrates the power of sport to bring people together and drive positive change.
Christian Park Family Center
For the 2026 Men’s Final Four, the Legacy Project, presented by Dove Men+Care, will transform the basketball court at Christian Park Family Center, where friends, families, and athletes alike can gather year-round for activities that promote exercise, camaraderie, and creativity.
By early April, Christian Park will receive a basketball court renovation to help create a true basketball and sports destination on the near eastside of Indianapolis. The space will feature a newly refinished basketball court with updated graphics and sport lines. Additional upgrades include new wall and backboard padding, basketball rims, ball racks, and basketballs. The facility will also receive fresh paint throughout, a refinished floor in the auxiliary meeting room, and various other improvements across the center.
