As The NBA China Games 2026 entered its final day today, the
five-day NBA Cares x Sands Cares Community Impact Week 2026 – co-organised by Sands
China and NBA Cares – also drew to a successful close with its concluding event,
the Community Basketball Carnival at NBA HOUSE at Cotai Expo Hall A and B.

The event brought together a line-up of sports icons, including NBA legend Chris
Bosh – Basketball Hall of Fame Inductee and two-time NBA champion – together with
Sands Global Ambassador Sir David Beckham, China women’s basketball national team
player Zhang Ziyu, and China short track speed skating Olympic gold medalist Wang
Meng, alongside members of Macau Special Olympics (MSO), families from Macao’s social
service organisations, executives from Las Vegas Sands and Sands China, and Sands
Cares Ambassadors. A total of around 200 participants gathered at NBA HOUSE to enjoy
a series of basketball-themed carnival experiences and family-friendly activities,
fostering meaningful exchanges among community stakeholders while promoting the 
inclusive power of sports.

The Impact Week fully demonstrates Sands China’s longstanding commitment to serving
the Macao community through its Sands Cares spirit. By harnessing the synergies 
from this sports tourism event, the initiative not only unites strengths across 
various sectors of society to support Macao’s diversified development, but also 
extends its benefits into the local community to foster social inclusion.

The concluding event of the Impact Week began with a **basketball clinic** led by
an NBA coach, who guided a group of MSO members through basketball skills training.
Through demonstrations and personalized instruction, she helped participants enhance
their basketball skills while encouraging them to challenge themselves, building
self-confidence and fostering a spirit of inclusion in the process. In addition,
NBA legend Chris Bosh, Zhang Ziyu and Wang Meng joined the event, engaging with 
MSO members on-site, adding to the warm and uplifting atmosphere. The MSO athletes
exuded great enthusiasm throughout the session, underscoring the power of sport 
to break down barriers and foster inclusion.

**Patrick Dumont, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Las Vegas
Sands Corp., and chairman of the board and non-executive director of Sands China
Ltd.**, said: "Over the past few days, we have not only welcomed basketball fans
from near and far to Macao through this world-class event, but also extended its
impact beyond the arena through a wide range of community outreach initiatives during
the Impact Week, including Greater Bay Area youth exchanges, a school visit, community
engagement activities, and a basketball carnival. These initiatives enabled more
Macao residents to experience the enthusiasm of basketball and the positive values
it inspires.

"We firmly believe that world-class sporting events do more than enhance Macao’s
international appeal. They create meaningful opportunities for youth development,
cultural exchange, and community participation, demonstrating the power of sport
to connect communities and bring people together, while ensuring the benefits of
major events are shared across the community. Looking ahead, Sands China will continue
to fully support the policy direction of the Macao SAR Government and further strengthen
the synergy between tourism and sports. Through these efforts, we aim to further
contribute to Macao’s economic diversification."

Following his participation last year, Sands Global Ambassador Sir David Beckham
once again joined this year’s Impact Week, where he engaged with families from Macao’s
social service organisations, including the Macau Tung Sin Tong Charitable Society,
the Macao Federation of Trade Unions, the General Union of Neighbourhood Associations
of Macau, and The Women’s General Association of Macau. Alongside families of Sands
China team members and Sands Cares Ambassadors, they took part in family-friendly
activities, sharing joy and laughter together.

During the event, Sands Cares Ambassadors accompanied families from local social
service organisations to explore NBA HOUSE, where they enjoyed a range of interactive
attractions and experiences. Participants also received goodie bags assembled by
NBA players, executives from Las Vegas Sands and Sands China, and Sands Cares Ambassadors,
extending care and warm wishes to the wider community.

The "NBA Cares x Sands Cares Community Impact Week 2026" spanned five consecutive
days, Oct. 7-11, featuring a diverse programme of activities focused on youth development,
healthy living and community inclusion. Current NBA players and legends engaged 
with communities across Macao, with the initiative extending the impact of the NBA
sporting event into the community and enabling more Macao residents to experience
the positive energy and excitement generated by the world-class basketball event.

"NBA Cares x Sands Cares Community Impact Week 2026" is part of [Sands Cares](https://www.sands.com/sands-cares/),
the global corporate citizenship programme of Sands China’s parent company. As an
