ABUS and Phoenix Mercury announce Brittney Blocks promotion to benefit Arizona Humane Society
Local animal shelter will receive a donation for each block recorded by Mercury center Brittney Griner during the 2019 WNBA Season
ABUS and the three-time WNBA Champion Phoenix Mercury will team up for the “Brittney Blocks” initiative, a promotion in which ABUS will donate $50 to the Arizona Humane Society each time Mercury center Brittney Griner records a blocked shot during the 2019 WNBA season. Griner, who earned back-to-back WNBA Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2014 and 2015, has blocked 574 shots in 181 career games (including playoffs) and has led the WNBA in blocks in each of her first six seasons.
During the 2019 season, Griner and Mercury mascot Scorch will make a visit to the Arizona Humane Society to meet with staff, volunteers and AHS’ pets. Griner, Scorch, and representatives from ABUS and the Arizona Humane Society will also partake in an on-court presentation on September 8 to highlight the “Brittney Blocks” promotion and share the final donation amount.
