A meal before the game
Every game day started with the group eating together before anyone walked into the arena. It turns a bus full of strangers into one group, and for a lot of the kids it is the part they talk about afterward.

Where it all started
Do Good Nation launched alongside the Dallas Pulse during their inaugural season. Across nine game days we brought more than 200 Dallas area youth into the building, fed them, sat them together in The Impact Section and got them in front of the players afterward.
This is the season that proved the model. Everything we run today, in every city, is a version of what we built here.

How it worked
More than a ticket
The Impact Section
The group sat together in premium seats in The Impact Section, in matching gear, cheering as one block. This is the season where The Impact Section became our signature, and where we learned how much of the experience comes from sitting together.
Postgame moments
After the final buzzer, the kids met Pulse players. Nine times over a season, that adds up to a lot of young people who now know a professional athlete looked them in the eye and said hello.
A Season, Not A Day
Nine game days, not one
A one off game day is a great memory. A whole season is something else. Running nine activations with the same team, in the same building, meant youth organizations across Dallas could send groups throughout the season instead of competing for one single date.
That repetition is what taught us the playbook: what to feed them, how early to arrive, how much the matching gear actually matters, and how much of the day is really about the hours before tipoff. Miami and the BIG3 Dallas activation both run on lessons from this season.

Made Possible By
Built with the Dallas Pulse
The Pulse gave us the seats, the access and the credibility to get started, in their very first season, before we had a track record to point at. Nine game days later, we had one.
Every one of those days was free for participating families. Want your brand behind the next season? Get in touch.
What's Next
The pilot became the playbook
Everyone deserves the chance to experience the magic of live sports. The Pulse season proved it works, and we have been taking that same model to more teams and more cities ever since.
100% of donations go directly toward creating these days for the youth we serve: transportation, meals, tickets, fan gear, hands on activities and real access to athletes and mentors.
