UCSF was invited to participate in the NBA Take Your Shot All-Star Small Business Accelerator Event as part of the All-Star Game Weekend 2025. We had the opportunity to meet new suppliers from the local community and further develop relationships with the stakeholders of the City and County of San Francisco and our neighbors at the Golden State Warriors/NBA procurement. At this event, we are reminded that showing up to build community with small businesses makes us stronger and resilient. We are looking forward to staying in touch with the businesses that we met to bring them into our UCSF supplier inclusion outreach pipeline.
