BitBasel 2025 was the real deal. Through a collaborative partnership with Weave Cloud, WNBA legend Toccara Williams, and the National Basketball Retired Players Association (NBRPA / Legends of Basketball), The Pathways Foundation showcased how basketball and AI can serve as a medium to bring people together from across the world around a cause.

TPF founder Malar Patel shared the foundation's mission with thousands and took the stage alongside cultural icons — including Allen Campbell, creator of the TB12 nutritional manual, NBA legend Marcus Banks, and Dr. Glenn Toby, among many others.

Opportunities like this advance an important conversation: philanthropy's role in shaping the future of sports and technology.
