MPH.com and Miami HEAT Team Up to Celebrate the WOW Center for the Second Year in a Row

December 6, 2024 6:36 PM

On Wednesday, December 4th, the Miami HEAT faced off against the L.A. Lakers in a thrilling game that transcended basketball. This special night marked another milestone in MPH.com’s partnership with the Miami HEAT and our shared commitment to community outreach, which was highlighted by a memorable halftime ceremony that celebrated the incredible work of the WOW Center Miami.

 

For the past two years, MPH.com has proudly served as the Official Luxury Automotive Marketplace of the Miami HEAT, with our logo prominently displayed on the team’s shooting shirts. This partnership stands for more than just exposure—MPH.com is dedicated to building real connections through impactful community-based initiatives in South Florida along with unforgettable game day experiences.

 

 

 

 

Celebrating the WOW Center Miami

 

The WOW Center, founded in 1972 by determined parents seeking opportunities for their children with developmental disabilities, has grown into a vital resource for Miami-Dade County. Now serving over 200 adults aged 21 to 75+, the WOW Center offers transformative programs like Life Skills, Art, Sports, Music Therapy, Supported Employment, and Therapy Services.

 

With a mission to provide access to opportunities and resources for adults with developmental disabilities, the WOW Center empowers individuals to foster growth, independence, and personal choice. MPH.com was honored to support this mission and celebrate the WOW Center’s incredible impact during our sponsorship night at halftime.

 

 

 

 

The energy was electric both on and off the court at Kaseya Center, as MPH.com’s in-game promotions brought fans closer to the action while building anticipation for the evening’s main event.

 

One highlight of the first half was the Fast Break Replay, an engaging scoreboard contest where a randomly selected fan had the chance to showcase their basketball knowledge. Fans enjoyed a highlight reel of a classic Miami HEAT fast break, where a lucky contestant got to guess the speed of a featured player from multiple-choice options. The suspense grew as the correct speed was revealed through dynamic graphic displays on the scoreboard, all prominently featuring MPH branding. A correct guess earned the lucky fan an exclusive autographed jersey, making the experience even more memorable.

 

 

 

 

Another crowd-favorite promotion was the “look under your seat” giveaway. Courtesy of MPH.com, four randomly selected fans were thrilled to find autographed Miami HEAT memorabilia waiting for them after the Fast Break Replay. This generous surprise added an extra layer of excitement to the arena atmosphere. 

 

 

 

 

In addition, fans throughout the Kaseya Center received a cupholder insert with instructions on how to enter to win two free tickets to a Miami HEAT home game, also compliments of MPH.com.

 

 

 

 

The true highlight of the night came at halftime when the WOW Center took center court. Much like our celebration during the Miami HEAT vs. New York Knicks game earlier this year, the WOW Center’s extraordinary participants were recognized for their achievements. These inspiring individuals were honored in front of thousands of fans, showcasing their resilience, growth, and the WOW Center’s invaluable contributions to the community.

 

 

 

 

For the second year, the WOW Center students had the privilege to meet with Coach Spoelstra privately, and to watch the team’s pregame warmups—a memory that the students will cherish for a lifetime.

 

 

 

 

The WOW Center students were celebrated at center court with autographed Miami HEAT jerseys, an exclusive co-branded shirt MPH created with the MIAMI HEAT, and a selection of premium MPH merchandise, including MPH.com branded duffle bags, leather journals, hats, and more. 

 

This celebration is only the beginning; MPH.com looks forward to fostering connections with local heroes and creating lasting memories for fans and partners alike.
