What We Do
MPBP, Inc. is a unique sisterhood of game changers educating, elevating, and investing in the communities where we and our sons and daughters live, work, and play.
We serve as mentors to new moms in the world of professional basketball by providing resources and services and through this shared bond, help our children cope with the enticements of fame and fortune. We strive to serve as positive role models through charity, service, and scholarships to improve the lives of others within the communities we and our children live, work, and play.
We recognize and respect the diversity of all cultures and ethnicities among the players, their families, and friends. We continue to encourage our sons and daughters to be role models to youth in our communities, and expect our sons and daughters to maintain a high level of character and conduct on and off the basketball court.
We are thankful and humble for the gifts our sons and daughters have been given. Our organization offers itself as a resource to those who are in need. We provide support to the sick and shut-in. We also provide emotional support to those who are most in need. We send out the spirit of generosity.
Our History
While on the road, Charlotte Brandon, mother of 11-year NBA veteran Terrell Brandon, felt our sons should be able to reach out to NBA mothers in the communities where they played to receive a good home-cooked meal and support for any special needs or emergencies they may have. MPBP, Inc. was born, and because of the uniqueness of our sons' occupation, a special bond between NBA mothers developed, which created a cohesive support for one another. As MPBP, Inc. grew, the organization embraced mothers of all professional basketball players including the WNBA, GLeague, and those playing internationally.
Today, MPBP, Inc. provides resources and mentors for rookie and veteran mothers, alike, sharing the nuances and idiosyncrasies of the business of professional basketball. Knowing there are other mothers who have experienced or are experiencing similar challenges provides great comfort to our members. It's rewarding to know we have each other as well as knowing our sisterhood looks out for our sons and daughters to provide a hug or two away from home.
