2026 RECAP
Hosted at Sinai Temple with Fabric during NBA All-Star Weekend, FCS created a powerful space to explore identity, purpose, and resilience through the lens of sport. The gathering brought together athletes, agents, executives, and faith leaders for a day rooted in meaning beyond headlines and highlight reels.
Through sessions on Faith and Identity, Faith and Activism, and Faith and Business, attendees examined how character—not competition—ultimately defines legacy.
A live recorded Legends of Sport roundtable added depth and authenticity, amplifying stories from leaders who have lived the tension between public success and private conviction. The speaker lineup included respected voices such as Lisa Leslie, Tamir Goodman, Eddy Curry, Byron Scott, AC Green, Angel McCoughtry, Bob McKillop, Dean Varun Soni, Eric Rubin, Mansoor Laghari, Craig Young, Chris Rix, Craig Impelman, Andy Bernstein, Andy Adler who all modeled vulnerability and wisdom.
