Overtime Select is proud to partner with the Association of Children’s Museum as a part of their overall State Farm Community Hoops program.

In a league-first initiative, all Overtime Select team captains came together to choose a cause close to their hearts—supporting youth creativity, exploration, and education, and thus, chose to partner the Association of Children’s Museums as the recipient of the State Farm Community Hoops program.

Throughout the regular season, players will wear custom-designed warm-up shirts inspired by this mission. Each shirt is a unique collaboration, created by the players themselves to reflect the values of imagination, inclusion, and learning.

The initiative culminates at Championship Weekend, where every assist contributes to real change. A ceremonial donation—based on in-game assists—will be made directly to the Association of Children’s Museums, highlighted by an on-court celebratory moment.

“ACM is thrilled and honored to be the recipient of the generosity of these young women,” said Arthur G. Affleck, III, President and CEO of the Association of Children’s Museums. “They exemplify the promise of our young people with their personal dedication and their commitment to contributing to their communities. Children’s museums across the country work to support children from day one in thriving at home, at school and in life; growing into caring individuals like these champions!”

Together with State Farm, Overtime Select is building more than a league. They’re building a movement—where every play matters, and every young life touched is a win.

This year’s captains’ hometowns include a vibrant group of children’s museums:

Jenica Lewis (Royal Reign) – Des Moines Children’s Museum

Kate Harpring (Cold Hearts) – Children’s Museum of Atlanta
