SUMMARY:The Future of Sports Chaplaincy
DESCRIPTION:Join The Black Sports Ministry Network at The Future of Sports Chaplaincy 2026! \nThe Black Sports Ministry Network (BSMN) invites you to beautiful Martha’s Vineyard on Saturday\, August 15\, 2026 at 4:00PM\, for our annual Future of Sports Chaplaincy event\, themed “Bridging Generations of Care in Athletics.” \nThis year\, we are honored to recognize Pastor Robert “Bob” Gray\, longtime chaplain of the Boston Celtics\, as our 2025 – 2026 Chaplain of the Year in celebration of his remarkable 26 years of faithful ministry in professional sports. We will also honor Arissa Troy\, recipient of the Emerging Sports Chaplain Award\, for her ministry at Boston College High School\, and Zsa Zsa Lawson\, Director of Basketball Operations for Harvard Women’s Basketball\, with our Distinguished Leadership in Athletic Administration Award. \nCome enjoy a meaningful day trip to Martha’s Vineyard as you learn about the growing field of sports chaplaincy. Hear from chaplains serving at the high school\, collegiate\, and professional levels\, and engage in conversations about the future of spiritual care in athletics. \nThe Black Sports Ministry Network’s mission is to develop ethical leaders in sports at the intersection of sports\, spirituality\, and social justice. \nJoin us for a day of learning\, inspiration\, fellowship\, and celebration—held during the same weekend as the African American Film Festival and African American Book Festival. This event is free and open to all spiritual and social identities. \nTo learn more about BSMN visit our website at www.thebsmn.org \nTo register for the event visit https://bit.ly/3QBeAS9
