The women behind Bring Back the Buzz. In honor of tomorrow’s Charlotte Hornets Women’s Empowerment Night we wanted to take a moment to speak on the 3 women that have been the motivation, inspiration, guidance and so many other things over the last 10 years.

Thank you mom. When we decided we wanted to fight to bring the Hornets name back 10 years ago the first person we called was you. Your response…“if WE are going to do this, WE are going to go all in and give it all we’ve got”. You have always been a member of BBTB. When so many people thought it would never happen and didn’t believe in the movement, there was never a doubt in your mind. So when our confidence wavered you provided a much needed foundation. Countless phone calls discussing ideas. Countless nights sacrificed attending our events. Countless articles proofread. Countless texts telling us “you may have gone too far with that tweet, which one of you tweeted that?”. Once again thank you for everything you have done and thank you for always supporting us.

Thank you Jax (Scotty’s Wife). We had just gotten married and lived in Greensboro when the movement started to pick up. There were many weeknights I wasn’t home because I was driving to and from Charlotte to do interviews with the news about Bring Back the Buzz. You never complained because you believed in us. You came to every single one of our events and for the first time in your life became a sports fan. Whether it was designing our logo, doing a photoshoot to promote our merch, leaving work early to attend our events, or just simply being the person to tell us “no that’s a stupid idea…don’t do that”…you have been there every step of the way and for that we thank you.

Thank you Cassidy (Scotty’s Daughter). When we started Bring Back the Buzz it was our memories as kids attending the games that provided us with the motivation to fight to bring the name back. Now being able to create those memories with you is motivation enough. I would say thank you for letting me raise you as a Hornets fan but you really don’t have a choice lol.

As a thank you for everything you guys have done and continue to do we have decided to take you guys to a game and we figured tomorrow’s night made the most sense. A huge thank you to the Charlotte Hornets for providing the tickets
