77 for 77 – Running for Luka, Giving Back to Youth

On Wednesday, April 9, I’ll be running 77 laps around the American Airlines Center in Dallas—just over 23 miles—to honor Luka Dončić’s first return to Dallas since his trade to Los Angeles. This isn’t just a tribute to a player who’s meant so much to the city—it’s a fundraiser for the Luka Dončić Foundation, an incredible organization dedicated to youth development, wellness, and creating opportunities through the power of sports.

‍I’ll be starting at 12:00 PM, circling the AAC in Luka’s iconic #77 jersey, with the goal of finishing all 77 laps around 3:30 PM—just hours before the Mavericks vs. Lakers tip-off.

Our home base will be at Chop Sports in Victory Park, where we’re turning this into a full-on community celebration:

$7.77 food & drink specials all day

Hourly giveaways (including jerseys, limited-edition merch, tickets, and more)

Game watch party after the run for those without tickets

77% of all proceeds from the event will go directly to the Luka Dončić Foundation

I’ll also be livestreaming the run on my YouTube channel — @Go4TheGoldy — so whether you’re across town or across the country, you can be part of the journey.

This event means a lot to me—not just as an athlete, but as someone who believes in giving back through sport. I’ve run races in football gear, done 24-hour charity runs, and competed in some of the toughest triathlons around. But this challenge? It’s about community, legacy, and heart.

Whether you’re a Mavs fan, Lakers fan, Luka fan—or just someone who believes in supporting kids through sport—I hope you’ll join me in donating whatever you can. Every dollar brings us closer to creating a brighter future for youth around the world.

➡️ All donations made here will go directly to the Luka Dončić Foundation.

Let’s run for Luka. Let’s run for youth. Let’s run 77 for 77.
