All season long, Buckets home games ride the holidays — and the site dresses for the season too, changing its colors as each holiday approaches.
The season opener lands on Halloween. Costumes in the stands, a spooky-blackout look, and candy for the kids — opening night, Tucson style.
Tucson's All Souls weekend. The Buckets honor the city's Día de los Muertos traditions — marigold colors, remembrance, and community.
Veterans Day week — a salute to Tucson's veterans, service members, and first responders, in a city that knows service.
Bring a toy, cheer the Buckets. Our holiday drive carries on the team's tradition of giving back at Christmas — every donation helps a Tucson kid.
Christmas week in the gym: ugliest sweater wins the night. Festive colors, holiday music, and Buckets basketball.
MLK Day week — a weekend honoring Dr. King's legacy of unity, service, and dignity, values the Buckets carry on and off the court.
February is Black History Month — the Buckets celebrate the culture, history, and excellence woven into this team and this game.
Valentine's week: bring your favorite person. A Sunday matinee made for couples, families, and first dates.
The last home game of the regular season closes Black History Month — and it's all about you, Buckets fans. Thank you, Tucson.
The Tucson Buckets aren't just about slam dunks and three-pointers — they're woven into the vibrant fabric of our community. Through youth clinics, school visits, and charity events, they inspire the next generation of ballers.
Whether it's mentoring aspiring players or rallying fans at local schools, the Buckets bring their A-game to community engagement. Their impact? A slam dunk for unity, resilience, and hometown pride.
Dr. Clyde Rivers is a renowned advocate for civility and the founder of I Change Nations (ICN), an organization dedicated to promoting a culture of honor globally. Named the Special Director of Civility by the American Basketball Association (ABA), Dr. Rivers collaborates with the Tucson Buckets and Buckets for Civility to instill values of respect and dignity in the community through basketball — creating positive role models and impacting lives both on and off the court.
