Bevel Teams Up with BIG3 and Nancy Lieberman Charities to Bring a Dream Court™ to Santa Monica
A new kind of shine just hit the neighborhood of Mar Vista Gardens in Santa Monica. Not from a fresh lineup or a sharp fade, but from the gleam of a brand-new Dream Court™. Thanks to Nancy Lieberman Charities (NLC), the Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Monica, BIG3, and Bevel, the Mar Vista Gardens community now has a safe space to hoop, connect, and grow.
This court, the 134th Dream Court™ nationwide and the 5th in California, isn’t just painted lines and polished asphalt. It’s a stage for confidence, competition, and connection. A space designed for growth, grit, and the kind of confidence that carries far beyond the game.
A Court Built With Intention
The regulation-size court comes fitted with two brand-new hoops and a high-performance PowerGame™ surface in dark and steel blue, stamped with the Dream Court™, Boys & Girls Clubs, and Bevel logos. For the hundreds of kids who pass through the Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Monica, this is more than a place to play. It’s home court advantage.
As Nancy Lieberman, Basketball Hall of Famer and NLC Founder, shared:
“Through this amazing partnership with BIG3 and Bevel, NLC has been able to provide courts to communities that deeply desire a space to come together to learn and grow through the game of basketball. Bevel aligns precisely with the values held by Dream Courts, the Boys & Girls Club, and the BIG3, and we couldn’t have imagined better partners.”
A New Era for Mar Vista
The unveiling on August 9 wasn’t about cutting a ribbon. It was about raising the bar. The new Dream Court™ gives Mar Vista Gardens a place where kids can work on their game, connect with their community, and play on a surface built to match their potential.
BIG3 CEO and Co-Founder Ice Cube put it best:
“You don’t have to be an expert to know what kind of impact a space like this has on children. Having a safe, fun, professional-grade space to play makes kids feel valued and empowered.”
The Bevel Standard
Bevel’s role here goes beyond grooming tools. It’s about fueling confidence, sparking pride, and making sure those values exist well past the mirror. Our VP of Marketing, Breann Satterwhite, explained:
“Partnering with Nancy Lieberman Charities, the BIG3, and the Boys & Girls Club of Mar Vista to bring this Dream Court™ to life is an extension of our commitment to creating spaces where young people feel seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.”
Legacy in Motion
This event was part of BIG3’s Los Angeles weekend, which featured high-energy matchups at Intuit Dome, appearances from stars like Dwight Howard and Michael Beasley, and the YOUNG3 community outreach program.
But even with all that star power, the real highlight is in Mar Vista Gardens. A court built for the kids. A court built for community. And a court Bevel is proud to stand behind.
Because at the end of the day, greatness isn’t just about how you look. It’s about how you show up for yourself and for the people around you.
