A Partnership With Purpose

Horizon League joins 24 Hours Nothing But Net to advance inclusion through Special Olympics

Debbie Antonelli, a college basketball analyst and passionate advocate for the Special Olympics, founded 24 Hours Nothing But Net, a 24-hour free-throw shooting marathon where she shoots 100 free throws every hour for 24 consecutive hours, 2400 total shots. She has raised over $1.4 million dollars for Special Olympics. Antonelli’s motivation for launching the event is deeply personal. Her son, Frankie, is a Special Olympics athlete.
