OWYN x Josh Hart and Bone Collector at Rucker Park: A Slam Dunk of Community, Competition, and Collaboration

At Find Your Vision, we thrive on making connections, creating memorable experiences, and promoting brands that align with our vision. On September 27th, 2023, we had the opportunity to do just that as we partnered with OWYN and NBA star Josh Hart to host a thrilling event at the iconic Rucker Park in Harlem, New York City. This event was all about celebrating community, athleticism, and healthy living, and it featured none other than the legendary Bone Collector himself alongside NBA start Josh Hart.

Uniting for a Common Purpose

OWYN, which stands for "Only What You Need," is a plant-based, vegan-friendly protein shake brand that prides itself on using allergen-friendly ingredients and avoiding artificial additives. In collaboration with Josh Hart, they aimed to introduce their product to the local community while raising brand awareness and drawing media attention to OWYN.

The event's centerpiece was a unique concept game of H.O.R.S.E., creatively named "O.W.Y.N," using the letters from the OWYN brand name. This exciting game format brought together the local community, influencers, and basketball enthusiasts for a day of fun and competition.

The Setting: Rucker Park, A Basketball Legend

Rucker Park, nestled in the heart of Harlem, is an iconic basketball court with a rich history. It has witnessed countless legendary games and showcased some of the greatest talents in basketball history. This historic venue was the perfect backdrop for the OWYN x Josh Hart event.

The O.W.Y.N Game: A Creative Spin on H.O.R.S.E.

The O.W.Y.N game at Rucker Park was structured to keep the audience engaged and entertained throughout the day. Here's how it worked:

Round 1: The First Cut

The event kicked off with Round 1, featuring two three-person games of O.W.Y.N. In each game, competitors had to replicate challenging shots to avoid earning a letter. The winners from each of these games advanced to the next round.

Round 2: The Showdown

Round 2 saw the two advancing contestants from Round 1 face off in another game of O.W.Y.N. However, this time, they had to contend with a twist - competing against two of our top influencers. The stakes were higher, and the excitement was palpable. The two winners from this round secured their spots in the final showdown.

Round 3: The Grand Finale

The final round was nothing short of spectacular. The three remaining contestants, who had battled their way to the top, had the ultimate honor of playing against NBA star Josh Hart in a high-stakes game of O.W.Y.N. The atmosphere was electric as the crowd rallied behind their favorites. In the end, a new O.W.Y.N. Champion emerged.

Reasons to Believe in the O.W.Y.N Event

Consumer Engagement: The unique gaming structure allowed for thrilling games of O.W.Y.N. that kept spectators on the edge of their seats, with the focus squarely on engaging the community.

Exciting Elements: Each round introduced fresh and exciting elements, ensuring that the audience remained captivated by the action on the court.

Community Involvement: Allowing local consumers the chance to compete against paid influencers and an NBA star like Josh Hart created a buzz and excitement that resonated throughout the day.

Bone Collector Takes the Spotlight
