Hundreds of underprivileged children in New York City will be able to watch the New York Knicks compete in the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks will donate at least 500 tickets through the Garden of Dreams Foundation, which supports children facing illness, homelessness, and poverty. The foundation will receive 250 tickets for each home game, Games 3 and 4, on June 8 and June 10. If the series extends to Game 6 on June 16, the total donation will increase to 750 tickets. The initiative provides free access to a historic moment, since the Knicks are making their first Finals appearance since 1999 and are seeking their first championship since 1973. Finals ticket prices have risen sharply, with courtside seats reaching up to $595,000, limiting attendance for many New Yorkers.
