Minneapolis-St. Paul – The Minnesota Timberwolves FastBreak Foundation today opened fan voting for the “Our Courts. Our Future.” court refurbishment program presented by U.S. Bank. Beginning today, fans can vote for one court in each of four designated regions that they’d like to see the Timberwolves and U.S. Bank refurbish this summer. Two or three courts are nominated in each of the four designated regions: Twin Cities, North, Central and Southern Minnesota. Voting can happen once per day at www.timberwolves.com/ourcourts through Sunday, May 20. One court from each region, four courts in total, will be given significant upgrades to keep kids outside playing basketball this summer and for years to come. The winning four courts will be announced on Thursday, May 24 at 4 p.m. at an event at the Mt. Airy Boys & Girls Club, whose court received a refurbishment last year as part of this program.
