The Ignite World Foundation exists with one central mission: to build an international, state-of-the-art STEM and elite sports science school for the youth in the Empire State — giving the next generation the tools to thrive on and off the court.

Founded by Philip B McDonald — also the owner of the Gotham City Bockers — Ignite World represents the deeper purpose behind everything we do. Basketball is the vehicle. Community transformation is the destination.

The Bockers have committed that a portion of all TBT 2026 winnings will be donated directly to the Ignite World Foundation. Every basket we score, every game we win, moves us closer to building that international school for the youth in the Empire State.
